USING TECHNOLOGY TO COMMUNICATE THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST

The Audio visual Ministry is an integral part of worship responsible for providing audio and visual support in broadcasting, recording, and visual technology for church programs and services. To include but not limited to worship, weddings, funerals, and Zion Hill special events.

ROMANS 10:14-15

How beautiful are the feet of those who carry good news.

In Biblical times, the only way to“carry” good news was to bring it physically, walking from one place to another. Technological advances, however, have opened up numerous additional communication channels, all of which the audio visual ministry will use to amplify the rate at which we spread the Word.

OUR GOALS

• To ensure that the sound and visual effects are clear so that the congregation can focus on praising God without unnecessary distractions. 

• To produce quality audio/visual media (compact disc) to minister to the hearts of those who are unable to attend church. 

• To spread the Gospel through all means of technology in support of the Pastor's Vision and the church’s mission to transform lives and prepare souls for Christ's return. 

• To make tapes available for the sick and shut-in during visitations and others that may be interested. 

• To provide audio and video support for other church ministries and their activities.

We, the Zion Hill Baptist Church, are committed to preaching and teaching God’s Word, exalting the Savior; edifying and equipping the saints for evangelism and mission at home and abroad; walking by faith; showing love to others; and living like Christ in order to win souls for the Kingdom.
