Contemporary Worship - Team Roles: Difference between revisions

Summaries of roles and responsibilities for each tech team member for Contemporary Worship.

This role is primarily concerned with running the sound board, but must also be ready to handle general audio issues.

* Worrying about the Livestream mix during worship is difficult and should likely fall under the purview of the [[Contemporary Worship - Tech Team Leader|Tech Team Leader]]

We do not yet have an official role set up in Planning Center for Lighting as it's technically optional and there's only so much currently required for it. However, if we want to continue to improve the quality of our overall worship presentation, we may do well to give it a bit more attention. With that said, it doesn't currently involve that much. Frankly, especially as it currently stands, this should probably just be automated and triggered from ProPresenter at some point.

* This is only particularly relevant on Sunday

This role is concerned with running ProPresenter for the benefit of the congregation, the livestream, the worship team, and the pastor. This role requires at least some amount of musical familiarity to keep up with the tempo of each song to advance slides at the most optimal moment. This role is the most active as it requires paying full attention throughout the entire service. Getting distracted can quickly lead to mistakes.

** Sunday morning service is required

This role is responsible for running the cameras and other video inputs, selecting what will be displayed on the Livestream.

** Sunday morning service

The Tech Leader oversees the entire process to make sure that everything is set up and taken down appropriately, as well as ensuring that everything goes smoothly, providing assistance if something goes wrong. The Tech Team Leader should ultimately understand and be ready to step into any individual role if necessary. This role will often be combined with other active roles currently due to a simple shortage of volunteers. This comes with the obvious danger that the Tech Team Leader will be busy performing their own role if something goes wrong during the service.

** Sunday morning service

This role is responsible for creating the ProPresenter presentation for the week. It is beneficial, though not required, to combine this role with [[Contemporary Worship - Projection|Projection]], so that the person most familiar with the presentation (as well as the general operation of ProPresenter) can run it. The same person is often responsible for creating the presentations for both the Contemporary Service, as well as the Traditional Service.
