Melbourne 1st Assembly of God

Do you have vision for using media for ministry?  Do you believe that God has given us the tools of technology for reaching people for Christ?  If the answer is yes then the MEDIA MINISTRY is were you belong.  The Media Ministry will operate in a manner consistent with the vision, mission, goals, and Christian values of Melbourne First Assembly of God and our Senior Pastor, Gary Cristofaro.  The goal of the Media Ministry is to creatively utilize the technology that God has given us in order to more effectively reach out to the church and the community with the good news of Jesus Christ.  To accomplish these objectives, we draw upon the multiple talents of a dedicated team of volunteers who selflessly give of their time and effort to ensure the best possible worship experience for members and first-time visitors alike.  We further work to make available the media resources required to "carry the Good News of the love of Christ to Melbourne and beyond."  As a team, we place the highest possible premium on transparency, so that our presence goes unnoticed, and a standard of technical excellence, all the while practicing sound stewardship of the resources with which God has blessed us.

Volunteer opportunities are always available for anyone who is interested in joining our team; the only requirement is a drive to serve the Lord.  My name is Jerry Bristor and as the team leader, I say "thank you" for the opportunity to serve and apply the gifts that God has bestowed upon us!

What We Do ...

• Worship Services: every Friday evening and Sunday morning, and on special occasions such as the Festivals of the Lord, team members meet the audio, video, lighting, and multimedia requirements of Melbourne First Assembly. In addition to mixing sound for the sanctuary, we also provide a live audio feed of the services to the church campus.

Projectionists present various worship elements such as lyrics and Scripture passages to assist and enhance the worship experience for all.

• Special Events: The Media ministry team meets whatever audio, video, multimedia, and other technical needs that exist for various special events in the church life of Melbourne First Assembly such as: special concerts, musical performances, or seasonal productions such as the children's Purim program.

So that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God. May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience. (Colossians 1:10-11a)

The Media Ministry's goal is to live up to this verse:

• To bear fruit in our work

• To grow and help others grow in the knowledge of God

• To be strengthened by His power and point others to that same source of strength
