MINISTRY DESCRIPTION 

Do you have a natural gift for electronics, sound or video equipment? Or maybe you just have a strong desire to learn, along with a passion to serve the body of Christ? 

There are many opportunities for you to serve in the Media ministry. Shiloh staff is here to help you learn what you’ll need to know and have fun in the process! 

We are looking for those who desire to continue to learn, who are team players, and most of all are committed to do their ministry. It does not mean you have to start out knowing anything about A/V, just have a learning attitude and a willingness to be lead. Volunteers will be trained for any specific technological skill or knowledge required for the ministry responsibilities, so the only prerequisite to volunteering is a willingness to learn and comfort in handling and using technological devices and equipment. Needed roles include: 

Video Camera Operators - The camera operators works behind the camera during services and acts as the eyes of the director. The director will communicate over headphones as to what he or she wants the camera to be doing. At this time, we have 3 Sony High-Definition cameras.

Directors (Developing Phase) - The director is in charge of recording the worship service. He or she will instruct the camera operators over headphones and chooses which camera will be recorded or sent to the screens during the service. This is done by watching monitors for each camera in the control room and using the switcher to choose the camera wanted at the time. *we are currently working on this area
