Above the lights, throughout the sound,
beyond the screen, let His Word abound!
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in it’s various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ."
1 Peter 4:10-11
The Worship Arts Technical Ministry at First Lutheran Church is committed to educating, encouraging and empowering media engineers; enabling audio, lighting and visual reinforcement for intentional, passionate, Christ-centered worship.

How should one feel following each opportunity to serve His Church? Was it a joyful experience or was it "work"? Are they tired or energized? Experience has taught that the following directly contribute to the "Joy Factor" in service for the Worship Arts Ministry:
Heart. Literally interpreted as a "Servant's Heart". A heart that is focused on what is best for others rather than one's self. A heart that sets pride aside and yields to the call of the Holy Spirit.
Love. Love for Music, for others and for Christ. Love that drives towards excellence rather than perfection. To do one's best in every effort for the Love of His people who come to worship.
Desire. Desire towards education, towards learning and practicing a gifted skill. Audio engineers diligently strive to understand frequencies; placement of input to mix; proper balance of instrument to voice; appropriate volume to purpose; and dynamic scaling based on the environment. Video engineers push their talents weekly in building an exciting, clear and understandable media presentation for the congregation. Lighting engineers gain clear understanding of lighting plots, 3, 4 and 5 point lighting techiques as well as experience in the use of gels, gobos and spot lighting.
Humility. Come with a humble spirit, a teachable heart and a hungry mind. Don't engage expecting to know all the facets and designs. Each service is uniquely different and requires an "open" individual prepared to learn and share.
"Throughout the worship arts, we embrace His strength, wisdom and power to advance our skills as effective servants to His will. First Lutheran Church, it's leaders and volunteers focus on making the Word of God known to all. This ministry is blessed with leading edge technology towards pursuing our purpose - Loving Jesus, Loving People and Serving all with Joy. Prayerfully consider your role in realizing this goal."
