No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. Luke 8:16 (NIV)
GOALS
Our goal is to create, capture and convey the essence of a service to expand the reach of God’s Word and the free gift of salvation through His Son Jesus.
In Matthew Jesus charged us to go and make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey everything He commanded. In Romans Paul shares that he is “not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” The Media Ministry uses the technology available today to reach as many souls as possible with the gospel, which is the “good news”, about Jesus Christ and teach them the word of God. We use video, lighting, and the internet as an instrument to deliver the gospel and disciple people.
