My internal response when I saw this in my feed, "YEESSSSSSS, ANOTHER TECH TOURRR!"🥳 These are by far may favorite videos (ik they take a long time to edit, but more please lol), but through watching your other videos I've been able to cross the Jordan and setup in ear monitors for the whole worship team at my church🙌🙌 . Jesus Christ is using you to equip other churches to provide service to the Lord with excellence via the implementation of new technology. ~I still can't believe that Bethel tech tour was free to watch
Just an encouraging message to the smaller churches out there regarding implementing new technology in worship ❤: My church (mostly Korean) is about 75 members. We have two congregations: one Korean speaking (~50 people) and the other English speaking. I implemented in ears for our worship team of 3 to 4 members serving the English speaking congregation of about 18 people. We also have limited resources. 🙌 I hope this is encouraging.
It’s beyond impressive that any one person can have this extraordinary knowledge of very specific specs and operations on EVERY single component of this incredibly talented complex system. What a resource this guy is. Thank you for sharing.
My local church from 1400 got their candles replaced with lightbulbs like a decade ago and still don't use mics despite it being a fairly large room. These American churches are incredibly techy compared to the churches here. Tho ours are much older so Iguess we have that going for us?
WOW.. I used to be knowledgeable, but I would say that production has advanced so far I now know very little. That has to be 7 figures worth of gear, and listening to this guy, he knows exactly each part, how to use it, and how it applies overall. Impressive.
Awesome....... My favourite take was that screen sharing idea he talked about and we'll really gonna venture into it in my own church...... Thanks church front for putting this all together
Absolutely amazing setup and, I'm not gonna lie I was relieved to finally see another church that's running Canon cameras. I was starting to think that we were missing something that everyone else already knew.
I know this video is a couple years old now but we got to meet John at an event we hosted a couple months ago and he was such a joy to talk to! Summit did our original install many years ago and killed it. It’s exciting to see how other churches use technology in furthering the gospel!
Ha and my church is working on upgrading from ipad and remote microphone for video livestream. To using in house sound, to run it through a mixing panel output to a computer. To match up with external video feeds. To then output to Facebook, TH-cam and Instagram. Our sound system is old and outdated and the mixing board is in desperate need of replacement. Yet the Spirit still shows up every Sunday and Pastor still gives a great sermon. At the end of the day you don't need all of that fancy stuff. It's all fluff, worship has nothing to do with any of that. We're here to worship God and give him thanks for the blessing he's bestowed upon us. Along with the grace and mercy that is renewed each and everyday for us. To learn to go out into the world and be ministers to those around us. To be a beacon of light in an otherwise dark world. That is our mission, that is our task. To be a big church like that, is it a blessing or a curse? How do you stay humble? How do you keep you eyes upon God and not on the worldly things that corrupt? Don't envy this, pray they stay true to the word.
We're totally about to use that Screen-Share function ASAP! No more having to constantly walk back and forth from the stage to the tech booth to just click one button on a computer, I can now do all of it from any computer (assuming it's a Mac)!
Wow, super well done editing on this video - and super production at Red Rocks. Thank you for your perspective Jake about humble beginnings for most churches. Truth!! But, I love the call to invest in knowledge in how to use these tools.
I see the haters comments on here asking why all the equipment etc. But these same people will pay lots of money to go watch a secular performance without batting an eye. Being a Christian or someone that plays worship music, why shouldn’t they have the best? Our Father wants the best for his children just like you would want for your own child. This is all about reaching people with tools that work. In the end its all about reaching people so that they to will find God and spend their eternity in Heaven rather than hell. So I think its rather important that we have the best tools to reach an audience in a day and time that expects the best. Thank you Red Rocks Church for all that you do to reach a lost world in a time that is SO VERY CRUCIAL. Keep up the great work and God bless!
Patrick Schmear I’m a possible hater for all this. Tell us, if RR doors were closed during this pandemic what did it mean to this church family at RR to hold the gospel and possibly didn’t do much while this sophistication on props at this grandeur sat useless? Rev 3: 14-22
I dont care about how much theyre spending because it is just so TIGHT! They have great kit, and have great singers and musicians. If you have the funds to use it, then use it :) keep it up
In these COVID times, some of the technology you tour gives the ability to be clear meeting and worshipping via Livestreaming and share the Good News, focus and work as Gods' family. Thanks Jake, love your work.
This is amazing, i have not seen anything like this before. Very inspiration and a real mind opener. Looking forward to visiting Red Rocks Church for my own live tour.
How professional everything is! It is a pity that there is not even 1% of the opportunities from what you saw! How little I know! 20 years of church sound engineering" at a minimum". God bless you!
This tour smacked though. Thank you for encouraging us all Jake, yes the desire to get to this level is there, but, I guess let’s just say Michael Jordan encouraged everyone to be a better basketball player too. So I don’t leave this video sad, but inspired. God will be glorified through people’s response to this vid!! Thanks Jake & Churchfront
Very soon I will call you up to come to Nigeria to do a consulting job for my church. We are going to do a complete teardown and a complete set up for the audio, video, comms, streaming, recording, broadcast, and also OB. The whole works. This particular video tour is an inspiration for me. My Church deserves nothing less.
I volunteer at Belmont Church in Nashville TN as a live webcast studio engineer and camera operator. Also have worked in A/V, television, and camera for concerts at our old outdoor Amphitheater in Nashville area. Cool video!
I’m the production director at our church and i use TeamViewer to remote to various computer on our network for remote control. I also am interest in the “living as one” cloud buffering solution for live streaming. Time after time our live stream is being bogged down by isp and network limitation over the internet. Having a 5 minute buffer to enable a seamless stream sans buffer would be amazing.
THREE THINGS 1. If I had a dollar for every time he said something was "pretty standard', I'd have a bunch of dollars. 2. I lost count of how many times I furiously demolished the like button, I need a new mouse. 3. These tech tour videos are the best church tech videos on youtube. I cannot think of anything that comes close to showing the amount of detail and production quality. Thank you, Jake and the Churchfront team, for consistently producing great content. You are appreciated.
I definitely learned a new thing or two. It's so much to take in though. If you have covered any of the individual items or concepts in further detail, a link to your video in the description would be nice. In the meantime, I'm just googling each product and concept individually. All this is so interesting. Thanks for the info!
Hey man, absolutely love your tech tours. I was wondering if y’all were planning on ever doing a Gateway church tech tour. I’m one of the monitor engineers there and think it would be really cool for more people to see what goes on behind the scenes. But ya just wandering if that was in y’all’s plan. Anyway keep up the great work love this channel. God bless!
Absolutely loved this video Jake! I’m a part of an up and coming church in South Africa and this was very knowledgeable! Good work. Btw, where did you get your background music from? Cheers ✌🏽
7:55 about the $5000+ DW drums with Ludwig $700 snare, high end K Zildjian cymbals (probably $2000-3000) "It's really nothing special." Bro, 90% of churches in this country can't afford that setup. Let's appreciate what we GET to play with, this is a privilege and a blessing.
@@alexr1587 Sounds like you thought someone in that video was hot. Just kidding though I thought he stuck to the script on every metric. No unnecessary words just perfect professionalism. I think what puts some people off is the illusion that a church has to be poor and sloppy with this kind of thing.. The homeless and the wealthy deserve equal access to God's Word and if they can afford more then use it to grow the church strong, further enabling the message to get out. Just an un-qualified opinion. Wondering what people think. Some will cite churches that got too big for the integrity of the people who ran them. That's what congregation member/ boards of directors help with although it is only another layer of protection. Even that can go wrong.
Very impressive and great stuff but... I think the church should check what should be the best way to do things in excellence. I said this statement below: Think of what is happening today and ask yourself... "Does any of the victims of Covid19, or the recent inequality shown in our country care about the excellent equipment. God cares first about the excellence we show in love and compassion. These things are the afterthought, not the forethought. In fact, the new testament (un excellent in the material) church gave out of their poverty - yet rich in love hearts. They did not have an abundance of the best things because they had little but to meet the "NEED" of others they gave. They did not have the greatest tech of their day but gave rather than saving for the best for themselves - They gave away their best. That is a demonstration of excellence far more compelling to anyone in need of Christ.
I am the Tech Coordinator for our church and we have switched from filming our church online to livestream the morning service and would love to use our C200 cameras for livestream. We are also using some form of Ross Carbonite that runs on a computer and we haven't been able to use the C200 because everything needs to be genlocked. How would I integrate the c200 to our system ?
So I just came across your channel yesterday. Very cool so far. I want to ask a question, but I promise that there is no malice intended. Do you have videos of churches that are on the small side and that do not want to make their worship look like a performance? Meaning, all the lights are on, no spotlights, no fog machines, nothing that looks like I am going to a concert. A very simple setup. The church I attend is Pentecostal and very old school when it comes to their worship. The songs are old time religion type songs you might hear at a southern gospel revival. They do not want to look like a Christian Rock concert (no offence to anyone that does their worship that way). In this new world of post-COVID 19 (now that they have had to really go into streaming), how would you present new and updated equipment and ideas of bettering their presentation? I realize I may be presenting this information wrong but I would love to hear what others have done and are doing in this type of situation.
There are plenty of churches out there like that. The music type may vary. The amount of lighting may vary. The acoustics of the church definitely vary. Our focus as Media pastors should be for the gospel to be heard and seen. What works in your building doesn’t necessarily “translate” out over a stream or recording. That’s the reason for some of this equipment. If you’re a small church that wants to reach outside the church walls, then you may simply need an iPhone on a stand picking up a wide view of everything and whatever sound reaches its microphone. You have to judge whether that is effective enough to spread the message you have. Does your church do special Christmas or Easter productions? You need to be able to see and hear everything that happens. That may require special equipment. Does your church have people in the congregation that contribute to the message via testimonies? You may need special audience mics, especially in a noisy room. Or you may need people with a mic ready to take it to that person. Does your church have a pastor or worship team that doesn’t stay stationary? You may be forced to do a wide shot where faces aren’t really seen. That may be okay for your viewers. That may not. Do you project words for your congregational songs or use a hymnal, song sheets, or liturgy? If the words in projection are too tiny on an iPhone screen (or blurry because of low resolution) you may need to provide access to those words another way. That requires manual delivery (mail or other means) to your off-campus people of that song material. Or you may need a lower-thirds display on your recording/stream (special equipment). How do your tech people communicate? Do some run back and forth or do hand signs? Is it effective? If so, great. You don’t need any special equipment. Who produces the service order? How do you distribute the service order? How do you communicate changes? If you have tech equipment, then those folk need to be aware of the volunteers you have running it and ensure that changes are minimal and not last minute. You need to work with that person’s schedule and understand their commitment level to work hours other than on Sunday. And they WILL be working more hours to ensure that everything is operating ahead of time and shutdown/put away afterwards. Your tech people will be facing stressful situations and must have the patience of Job and be full of the grace of God. You might have to pay someone to take all that on if you deem the special equipment important enough to enable the spread of the Gospel. You need to be sure you can afford to upgrade technical equipment in 5, 10, 15 years. Each type of equipment has a lifetime due to mechanical failure or obsolescence. (Recent example over the last 15 years are wireless mic frequencies being re-assigned for other purposes by the FCC.) If your church doesn’t have the income, don’t spend the money on special equipment (or piece it together over time). I have said it many times before to those wanting to get tech. If you’re not able to “have church” now with heating and cooling and electricity to power your lights, when the power goes out how will you adapt? The opposite is true, how will you adapt as a church when you need another service because your building is too small? How will you adapt when the number of people to be reached exceeds your ability to add services? If you can’t meet those challenges then you need to refocus your purpose. All Christians have been given a mandate: love God and love others. How each group of Christians does so is as unique as the people in it. Ask God for guidance and he will guide. Your original question has no malice and no offense was taken by those that understand these things. I agree with you on wanting more basics as our medium size church is replacing 20 year old equipment and taking on the challenge of streaming services. There are plenty of TH-cam channels that address the basics but I like Jake’s approach. Jake, how about a look at some small churches who have a few thousand dollars for a tech budget? We’ve seen the medium-sized church and the mega-church and they provide a good guideline as to what’s available. Is this in your plan? The small church needs good council and some turnkey advice.
My question becomes, why does church *have* to look like a specific way? BTW I can tell you're not a production person because you used the term "fog" rather than haze. There's a massive difference. Worship is a concert, we are the performers and God is the audience. HUGE difference from a secular concert.
From someone coming from Europe, this doesn't make any sense to me. Can someone tell me how they have this much money? Do the people pay to go to church and how much?
The screen sharing app in macos is ok. But I use TeamViewer so I don't need everything on the same Lan. In fact I can use windows pcs in my team viewer network as well as my phone so I can control any computer from my phone.
Very nice all these videos! Sure will help a lot of small churches... I could not find what solution do you have to store all the videos and manage the media’s for edition, as well as what is the system for the led displays in background of the stage. Could you give me some help on that please ? Thanks May Jesus bless us 🌷🙏
Jake, How much do you think all this gear costs? The average church does not have such a tech guru or budget for such a setup. How do you work your way there? It seems unimaginable. Maybe you can make a video on the process of getting there and how to build a small church with basic gear to that level.
Jakes any idea how i can have gear list especially for the switchers used for Dante and the entire Dante Map , will appreciate. Am Dante certified am looking at studying different Dante diagrams

Just an encouraging message to the smaller churches out there regarding implementing new technology in worship ❤:

I hope this is encouraging.
My exact reaction... God bless the churchfront team for these invaluable resources
It’s beyond impressive that any one person can have this extraordinary knowledge of very specific specs and operations on EVERY single component of this incredibly talented complex system. What a resource this guy is. Thank you for sharing.
Me in my tiny English church that only just got power
Indeed, how much tech do you need to get in touch with this Jesus bloke? And he doesn't even exist!
But to preach religion it doesn't require,
Means technology and services!!!
Magnify JESUS, in heaven its gonna be unanimous sessions just on earth there are differences in techs. Hail jesus
My local church from 1400 got their candles replaced with lightbulbs like a decade ago and still don't use mics despite it being a fairly large room.
These American churches are incredibly techy compared to the churches here. Tho ours are much older so Iguess we have that going for us?
@@VickersDoorter he is real and does indeed exist! I’ll Pray for you!
hes like "pretty standard coms" which cost more than my whole church set up hahaha
sick video hope we get to this level too
They are standard in pro a/v though for large productions. Unity Comms is another good one that you can actually use your phones with.
LOL. I was thinking the same thing. Right now yelling, ASL or two tin cans and a wire are what I'm thinking about for our tech comms.
Man🤯 I've never seen such a big setup for a church in my life I'm so blown away.
God bless
WOW.. I used to be knowledgeable, but I would say that production has advanced so far I now know very little. That has to be 7 figures worth of gear, and listening to this guy, he knows exactly each part, how to use it, and how it applies overall. Impressive.
Yep. The guy from the Elevation tech tour seems like a tech genius too. I'm impressed.
It's all computerized now. Crazy racks full of stuff.
Excellence in Gods Kingdom at its best.
GOD Of Abraham Bless All Your Projects For The GLORY and HONOUR Of Our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Amen
Awesome....... My favourite take was that screen sharing idea he talked about and we'll really gonna venture into it in my own church...... Thanks church front for putting this all together
Absolutely amazing setup and, I'm not gonna lie I was relieved to finally see another church that's running Canon cameras. I was starting to think that we were missing something that everyone else already knew.
I know this video is a couple years old now but we got to meet John at an event we hosted a couple months ago and he was such a joy to talk to! Summit did our original install many years ago and killed it. It’s exciting to see how other churches use technology in furthering the gospel!
Yesss , praise Jesus with all the best equipments
Ha and my church is working on upgrading from ipad and remote microphone for video livestream. To using in house sound, to run it through a mixing panel output to a computer. To match up with external video feeds. To then output to Facebook, TH-cam and Instagram. Our sound system is old and outdated and the mixing board is in desperate need of replacement. Yet the Spirit still shows up every Sunday and Pastor still gives a great sermon.
At the end of the day you don't need all of that fancy stuff. It's all fluff, worship has nothing to do with any of that. We're here to worship God and give him thanks for the blessing he's bestowed upon us. Along with the grace and mercy that is renewed each and everyday for us. To learn to go out into the world and be ministers to those around us. To be a beacon of light in an otherwise dark world. That is our mission, that is our task.
To be a big church like that, is it a blessing or a curse? How do you stay humble? How do you keep you eyes upon God and not on the worldly things that corrupt? Don't envy this, pray they stay true to the word.
We're totally about to use that Screen-Share function ASAP! No more having to constantly walk back and forth from the stage to the tech booth to just click one button on a computer, I can now do all of it from any computer (assuming it's a Mac)!
An update on this: we tested Screen-Share today, and it is now my new favorite thing. Y’all should start doing this ASAP!
Highpoint Church / Cincy is Screen-Share the name of the software? Do you have the link to the site please! God Bless
Love to dual stereo hang!!

I just froze after seeing all those racks and everything
It's more than a rock concert 😂
@@mariomichael3353 No, no it's not. Rock concerts don't sing to Jesus and of course we are performing for God. Is that not what worship is?

This is a very rich church, lots of expensive Equipment. When i had millions of money, i would do the same :) i love god and light and sound tech :D

If you’re a small church that wants to reach outside the church walls, then you may simply need an iPhone on a stand picking up a wide view of everything and whatever sound reaches its microphone. You have to judge whether that is effective enough to spread the message you have.
Does your church do special Christmas or Easter productions? You need to be able to see and hear everything that happens. That may require special equipment.
Does your church have people in the congregation that contribute to the message via testimonies? You may need special audience mics, especially in a noisy room. Or you may need people with a mic ready to take it to that person.
Does your church have a pastor or worship team that doesn’t stay stationary? You may be forced to do a wide shot where faces aren’t really seen. That may be okay for your viewers. That may not.
Do you project words for your congregational songs or use a hymnal, song sheets, or liturgy? If the words in projection are too tiny on an iPhone screen (or blurry because of low resolution) you may need to provide access to those words another way. That requires manual delivery (mail or other means) to your off-campus people of that song material. Or you may need a lower-thirds display on your recording/stream (special equipment).
How do your tech people communicate? Do some run back and forth or do hand signs? Is it effective? If so, great. You don’t need any special equipment.
Who produces the service order? How do you distribute the service order? How do you communicate changes? If you have tech equipment, then those folk need to be aware of the volunteers you have running it and ensure that changes are minimal and not last minute. You need to work with that person’s schedule and understand their commitment level to work hours other than on Sunday.
And they WILL be working more hours to ensure that everything is operating ahead of time and shutdown/put away afterwards. Your tech people will be facing stressful situations and must have the patience of Job and be full of the grace of God. You might have to pay someone to take all that on if you deem the special equipment important enough to enable the spread of the Gospel.
You need to be sure you can afford to upgrade technical equipment in 5, 10, 15 years. Each type of equipment has a lifetime due to mechanical failure or obsolescence. (Recent example over the last 15 years are wireless mic frequencies being re-assigned for other purposes by the FCC.) If your church doesn’t have the income, don’t spend the money on special equipment (or piece it together over time).
I have said it many times before to those wanting to get tech. If you’re not able to “have church” now with heating and cooling and electricity to power your lights, when the power goes out how will you adapt? The opposite is true, how will you adapt as a church when you need another service because your building is too small? How will you adapt when the number of people to be reached exceeds your ability to add services? If you can’t meet those challenges then you need to refocus your purpose.
All Christians have been given a mandate: love God and love others. How each group of Christians does so is as unique as the people in it. Ask God for guidance and he will guide.
Your original question has no malice and no offense was taken by those that understand these things. I agree with you on wanting more basics as our medium size church is replacing 20 year old equipment and taking on the challenge of streaming services. There are plenty of TH-cam channels that address the basics but I like Jake’s approach. Jake, how about a look at some small churches who have a few thousand dollars for a tech budget? We’ve seen the medium-sized church and the mega-church and they provide a good guideline as to what’s available. Is this in your plan? The small church needs good council and some turnkey advice.
My question becomes, why does church *have* to look like a specific way? BTW I can tell you're not a production person because you used the term "fog" rather than haze. There's a massive difference. Worship is a concert, we are the performers and God is the audience. HUGE difference from a secular concert.
That is what we call a "live production" - impressive! I wonder what you think about software-based video switcher.
wow i love it
you should do a wtt with parksidechurch green
What aspect ratio is their worship at?
2.35:1
From someone coming from Europe, this doesn't make any sense to me. Can someone tell me how they have this much money? Do the people pay to go to church and how much?
What location is their main campus?
Super setup bro
What is that monitor he is using at FOH for waves!? I've been trying to find it for a hot min!!!!
This is awesome.
The screen sharing app in macos is ok. But I use TeamViewer so I don't need everything on the same Lan. In fact I can use windows pcs in my team viewer network as well as my phone so I can control any computer from my phone.
Dude yes!! Way to make our motion backgrounds look sick! 🙌🙌
I smashed that like button! Lol
What’s the song that played for the first few minutes? Love the vid!
4:35 What Yamaha app is he talking about?
GREAT !!
anyone else excited that they use vista??
Hi Jake, can this church give you an estimate of how much they used to purchase all their equipment?
tech setup please, itemize the tech
I’d like to see tech tours on:
Lakewood church, tx
Upper Room tx
Centro Vida ca
Gateway Church tx
definitely upperroom !
Centro vida 🙌🙌
Relentless church!
Thanks for the videos, what recommendations for 4 good lapel mics for live use, no limit for budgets
Very nice all these videos! Sure will help a lot of small churches... I could not find what solution do you have to store all the videos and manage the media’s for edition, as well as what is the system for the led displays in background of the stage. Could you give me some help on that please ? Thanks May Jesus bless us 🌷🙏
Jake, How much do you think all this gear costs? The average church does not have such a tech guru or budget for such a setup. How do you work your way there? It seems unimaginable. Maybe you can make a video on the process of getting there and how to build a small church with basic gear to that level.
Two things do matter.
Jakes any idea how i can have gear list especially for the switchers used for Dante and the entire Dante Map , will appreciate. Am Dante certified am looking at studying different Dante
diagrams
Do yall use two ways radios at all?
how can this guy know all tech gear from sound and light to video/broadcast just in his mind?
probably because its his full time job. They pay him to know every piece of gear inside and out.
Do we really need these in church?
Is this Austin or Colorado
Wondering what they´re using for the timer you could see on several shots? Like on 14:56
SMPTE
@@tylrbass and what puts it one the displays? Raspberry? :)
