Let¡¯s get started.

TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP SET THE MOOD FOR A WORSHIP SERVICE, ESPECIALLY THE SLIDE ON THE SCREEN WHEN PEOPLE WALK INTO THE SANCTUARY.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTION CAN ENHANCE THE WORSHIP EXPERIENCE FOR PEOPLE BY ALLOWING THEM TO CONNECT SPIRITUALLY IN A DIFFERENT MANNER.
AN EXAMPLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTION FROM GROUP MEMBER KATHY¡¯S CHURCH IN CALIFORNIA
IMAGES USED ON SCREENS CAN BE A MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH A PERSON CAN CONNECT MORE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND TO THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST.
MOST CHURCHES NOW INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY IN WORSHIP THROUGH DIGITAL PROJECTION OF SOME FORMAT.
SCRIPTURE CAN BE PROJECTED FOR PEOPLE TO FOLLOW ALONG MORE EASILY. THIS CAN SAVE THE CHURCH MONEY ON PURCHASING PEW BIBLES AS WELL AS MAKE THE SERVICE EASIER TO FOLLOW FOR THE CONGREGATION.
S O M E O N E U N F A M I L I A R W I T H C H U R C H C A N F E E L M O R E C O N N E C T E D A N D F O L L O W A L O N G B E T T E R I F E V E R Y T H I N G I N O N T H E S C R E E N .
VISITORS OR MEMBERS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE LORD¡¯S PRAYER MEMORIZED CAN PARTICIPATE IF THE WORDS ARE PROJECTED FOR THEM.
IF THE LYRICS ARE ON THE SCREEN, THE FOCUS WILL REMAIN ON WORSHIP INSTEAD OF LOOKING THROUGH HYMNALS FOR THE CORRECT SONG. SCREENS HELP PEOPLE LEARN THE WORDS TO SONGS AS WELL.
PROJECTING LYRICS ALSO LOWERS COSTS BY NOT HAVING TO PURCHASE UPDATED HYMNALS, WHICH CAN BE COSTLY, AS THEY ARE UPDATED OFTEN.
THERE ARE MANY STYLES FOR PROJECTING LYRICS, SCRIPTURE AND SERMON NOTES. WHAT¡¯S IMPORTANT IS CONSISTENCY. PICK A STYLE AND STICK WITH IT.
ANNOUNCEMENTS CAN RUN BEFORE THE SERVICE SO THAT PAPER BULLETINS CAN BE SMALLER (SAVES MONEY ON PRINTING COSTS).
TECHNOLOGY CAN ENHANCE OTHER MINISTRIES AS WELL. Youth Sunday Children¡¯s Choirs

LIGHTING CAN CHANGE THE EFFECT OF A WORSHIP SERVICE OR SPECIAL EVENT, SUCH AS A CHRISTMAS PAGEANT.
TECHNOLOGY CAN MAKE A SERVICE MORE ENGAGING FOR YOUR CONGREGATION.

TECHNOLOGY CAN CONNECT THE CHURCH TO THE SECULAR WORLD. TRADITIONAL CHURCHES CAN SEEM SO DIFFERENT FROM EVERY DAY LIFE THAT PEOPLE CAN FALL INTO A PATTERN OF COMING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAYS, BUT LEAVE AND LIVE LIVES ACCORDING TO SECULAR WORLDVIEWS. TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP JOIN BOTH WORLDS TOGETHER. *JUST BE AWARE OF COPYRIGHT LAWS!

MICROPHONES & AUDIO AMPLIFICATION ALLOW FOR SOUND TO BE PROJECTED MORE CLEARLY.
TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS FOR LARGER CORPORATE WORSHIP OPPORUTNITIES, INCLUDING CONFERENCES.
HOME-BOUND, BED-RIDDEN, OR THOSE OUT OF THE COUNTRY CAN WATCH SERVICES VIA LIVE STREAMING.
MEMBERS OF YOUR CONGREGATION CAN RE- LISTEN TO THE SERMON IF IT IS RECORDED, OR LISTEN FOR THE FIRST TIME IF THEY MISS A SERVICE.
USING EMAIL, PRAYER REQUESTS AND DEVOTIONS CAN BE SENT TO THE CONGREGATION.

PAGERS/CELL PHONE TEXTING IS A LESS DISRUPTIVE WAY TO ALERT PARENTS THAT THEY ARE NEEDED IN CHILDREN¡¯S MINISTRY TO ASSIST
P R E S E N T E D B Y J O R D A N G I B S O N Next up, learn about the dangers/pitfalls of technology in worship
C O N T E X T Does the technology you are using make sense in the context you are in? It is important to know the people in your community and how they will or are reacting to the types of technology being used.
C R E A T I N G A N E X C E L L E N T S E R V I C E Does it accomplish our goals? Is what we are currently doing helping us to achieve our goals? Do we believe that our services are reaching those outside the church? Is there a more simple way to accomplish our goals?
T O O M U C H S T I M U L U S When we have all sorts of technology going at the same time or throughout the service it can distract us from the gospel. Often our focus is lost in an assortment of technology. It creates a "show" mentality that impedes our ability to connect with community.
C O M F O R T Much of our attention in worship services is pointed at creating a comfortable environment for those that attend. Is comfort a high priority for us in our worship services and why?
S E R M O N S E R I E S There is such a similarly between sermon series and television shows, is this the image we want to portray for our worship gatherings? What if we don't like the idea of the new series?
C O S T & F O C U S Is it worth it? We put so much money into buying technology, training people, hiring the right people, is it worth the cost? As we put all our effort in our Sunday morning service, we tell the world that the service is the most important part of our Christian life.
P R E S E N T E D B Y K A T H Y S C H O E N Next up, learn about a helpful theological framework for viewing technology in worship
P R E S E N T E D B Y L I Z C A R V E R Next up, learn about the relationship of technology to other components of worship.
T E C H N O L O G Y I S A T O O L , N O T A T O Y Technology gives us an opportunity to include a greater number of people in worship. While sometimes, technology is frivolous and unnecessary, it is all in how you use it. If we wield technology well, we can do amazing things to further the kingdom of God, and to draw people into experiences where they can meet with the living God through Worship.
C O N T E N T ¡°The methods always change, but the message stays the same.¡± Start, now with how you want to say something, start with what you want to say. Technology is not the goal. When technology becomes the goal rather than just a part of the process in worship planning, it has become an idol. Start with content.
C O N T E X T Not every technologically enhanced ¡°improvement¡± necessarily improves our worship. But, just because a tool doesn¡¯t work in the right context doesn¡¯t devalue its use in another context. Remember: Not only is technology a tool, but it is a tool that needs to be used to support content, and used appropriately within your context.
P H I L O S O P H I C A L D I F F E R E N C E S W H E N I T C O M E S T O T H E I N T E G R A T I O N O F T E C H N O L O G Y & W O R S H I PRegardless of how you integrate technology into worship, it should not be a distraction. Technology that distracts is worse than no technology at all. People should leave saying that we worship an awesome God.
T H E I N T E G R A T I O N O F T E C H N O L O G Y I N W O R S H I P I S N O T H I N G M O R E T H A N A N I N C R E A S E I N C O L L A B O R A T I O N B E T W E E N A R T I S T I C M E D I U M S .
A U D I O T E C H N O L O G Y Congregations today unknowingly expect a much higher in-quality audio experience. Good audio systems amplify worship and teaching. Bad audio systems muddle the message. Good audio systems used poorly bother everyone.
V I S U A L S & T E C H N O L O G Y Screens: Be consistent with your use of screen images and type. Make sure that any background images or motion are subtle, so as not to compete with worship song lyrics/scripture. Tangibles: simple images on bulletins (and other print pieces) allow us to participate in a shared experience and are helpful for visitors. Video: Tell stories, capture messages, and share the Gospel beyond the walls of your church. This collaborative art form has the power to cause the viewer to emote in ways that few mediums can.
B E H I N D T H E S C E N E S T E C H N O L O G Y Consider increasing your use of technology behind the scenes for greater collaboration in worship planning. Software such as Planning Center can aid in planning. iPads or other tablets can be used to display lead sheets, music, or message notes.
T E C H N O L O G Y & T E A C H I N G Social media can be used in teaching. Tweeting or texting in messages to your pastor for them to answer can create a safe place for people to ask questions and receive answers in real time. Programs like ProPresenter can filter through hashtags and @usernames easily. Gain immediate response to polls.
T E C H N O L O G Y & A R C H I T E C T U R E / S P A C E Be mindful of how technology integrates with architecture and your church¡¯s physical space. How visible should technology be based on your church¡¯s context? Should we see lights, microphones, cameras, etc.? Should they be minimally invasive? Should production happen in front of the congregation (as in, in the same room)? Or should it happen in a separate space?
T E C H N O L O G Y & G I V I N G / S T E W A R D S H I P Scripture tells us that giving of financial gifts and tithes is also worship. Giving through online giving or apps is a fast-growing channel of giving for non-profits. Consider opening this up to your congregation.
P R E S E N T E D B Y B R A D E D W A R D S Next up, learn about some practical examples & a healthy integration of technology in worship.
Y A Y ! The End.
