OVERVIEW
The McArthur Media Ministry is an important and growing department. We currently have a multitude of ministry opportunities available for people to become involved in. No experience is necessary, but it is appreciated. If you have a desire to become involved in any capacity, we will be happy to train you. The McArthur Media Ministry has a high standard of excellence that is expected of each member during each and every production.  Professionalism should be exuded from every person all the time.  When this standard is followed, all benefit from a job well done and the hope that lives are changed in those that encounter it.

VOLUNTEERING
As of this time, almost all positions are manned by church volunteers.  In order to become a part of the team, prospective members must:

•    Be at least 16 years old
•    Be members in good standing for at least one year
•    Be accepted by the Media Director for proficiency and comprehension

All camera operators will be given specific camera assignments and an assigned schedule to follow.  Likewise, a shift list is also given to all directors so as not to overburden any one person.  It is imperative that all operators show up to their positions at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the service.  If you cannot make your scheduled position, please inform the Media Director at least 30 minutes prior to service to allow them to find a replacement and to give that replacement enough time to run through pre-service checks.
