Get Your Strategy On
Jason Powell is letting the cat out of the bag once again. Granger Community Church is launching into brand new territory. Over the next couple of weeks, we’re installing a new video system that may very well change forever the way we offer services. Jason has some pics of the installation that’s in progress. These pics only show the center screen. There are two more screens yet to come that will flank this one.
The insider information is that there is currently no other church in the country that will have a video system like the one that’s being installed. We are weeks away from completely changing the way video is used in our weekend services. This is absolutely going to revolutionize the way we communicate the Gospel message at Granger. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
By the way, it’s not to early to make plans to get up to Granger and see the impact of the video system yourself. Churches are already registering for this year’s Innovative Church Conference. I can promise you–you’ll have the opportunity to see the video system used to the max during that event. This will be an Innovative Church Conference like no other.

Looks awesome. Be sure to post some pictures of it in use. I’d like to see those.

Sounds cool, Tony. Looks cool. But what are you actually doing with the video that’s so innovative? Anybody can put in a big screen (OK, not just anybody), but the real question is what you’re going to do with it.
I’m eager to hear.

Kevin, it’ll be a little hard for me to describe in words, but the vision is to have video fully-integrated throughout the service. Sometimes the focus will be on the video to communicate a message. Most times the video will just be there to complement the message, music, drama and other service elements. It’s going to be a new palette for our visual artists, and I’m sure it’s something that will evolve over time.
And, I don’t want to brag too much, but we have about the widest platform that I’ve ever seen and the screen will ultimately stretch the entire width of the platform. Yea. It’s big. It puts my little 30″ Samsung to shame. Time to tell Emily I need a new TV. :-)
