Your church may use the Enrollment Card in Church Connect to record their attendance from their phone faster than you can say.

Hosting Your Virtual Church Service on Facebook Live

If you want to broadcast a live feed of your service from your phone, Facebook Live can help. All you'll need is a smartphone and a few low-cost add-ons.

We've put together a few guides that can assist you with putting up a Facebook Live stream.

Your Members Have Showed up

The vast majority of your church's members are almost certainly already on Facebook. While not everyone uses Facebook, it is frequently used, so your members are likely to be there.

Meeting people where they are is the core of meeting them where they are. Rather than requiring your users to download a new app that they are unfamiliar with, begin streaming at a convenient location.

Motivation and debate Facilities should be given

The contact is what makes internet services so appealing. Facebook Live includes a feature that allows viewers to post comments and replies in real time throughout the broadcast. This enables for a more engaging service, which is beneficial when encouraging and ministering to others.

The greeting portion is one example. You can have members and viewers greet and support one another in the chat room.

Members can also express their affirmations in conversation throughout the sermon. During an altar call, spectators have the ability to reply. They can even make requests for prayer.

YouTube Can Help You Propagate Your Virtual Church Service

YouTube is a strong, inexpensive, and convenient tool to reach members and guests outside of services. Livestreaming has previously been mentioned, but you may also build your own YouTube channel, publish videos to it, and share video links with your members. This provides a simple method of content distribution as well as a free storage solution for all those gigabits of video.

How to Begin Live and Monitoring

Music and prayers can be difficult to incorporate into an online church session. Unlike a sermon, your technology will need to record multiple people and voices.

Using an online tool to put together a presentation doesn't have to be as complex as it seems. We discovered a few simple best practises for virtual church services that make a big difference.

• Prerecording
• Revision
• Recruiting assistance
