It’s Gonna Be Whack At Saddleback

Posted on 23. Jun, 2008 by loswhit in Web/Tech

So I’m literally only going to be in So Cal for like one day.
I would love to stay and play but I have lots going on in the Dirty South.
But for my one day of So Cal love you can catch me at The Saddleback Worship Conference on Wednesday.
I’ll be teaching 2 classes.
1. Introduction to Social Media as a Ministry Tool.
2. Leading Your Team Through Social Media

Those will be on Wednesday at 1:30 and 3:30 respectively then back home early the next morning.

As well. If you are a blogger and coming to the conference you can take part by uploading videos, pictures, and accounts to YouTube, Flickr, ect. here on the Conference Blog.

And this is you helping me with the class…
How has a youtube, facebook, myspace, blog, vimeo, linkedin, ect. site helped you lead your teams?

facebook has helped me keep in best contact with everyone at once

I think it has given everyone one place to go to find things (videos, ideas, thoughts). It also allows friendships to happen throughout the week rather than just on Sunday or the practice night.

We are using flickr to build a pictorial history of the church along with events, baptisms, members, and of course the worship band… tons of possibilities.

Have a good time out in CA

We use Youtube as a source for beginning our weekend services… a direction in the way we could possibly take a song. It gives everyone the ability to hear the song before rehearsal and get an overall feel for what is expected at rehearsal. Youtube has been a great tool for our ministry!

As a tutorial piece. I am not an expert on every instrument. It’s great to be able to show certain musicians video clips of proficient musicians playing their leads or even effects/tone choices.

Are you vodcasting your session or posting notes? (Would love to see what you come up with. I myself am stuck in the dirty south and can’t make it out to Cali.)

Los, we’re a church plant that is launch without any office facility. So we twitter as a way of keeping up with one another on staff as we’re meeting around town. It also let’s people from the church and community see what we’re up to.

wow… I don’t think I could schedule our teenage dancers/singers for KidStuf! without facebook. Group messages are the way to go… we all see responses. and you know if they’ve received it or not.

I post new atmosphere and staging to flickr… letting storytellers/hosts know what to expect on Sundays…

Just starting to use Twitter, but I’ve been using it more for networking than anything right now…

This fall we’re going to start using Vimeo to post hand motions for preschool worship leaders as refreshers throughout the year, so every worship leader is doing the same motions.

I’m not a leader but I run FOH and am always finding great tips, advise, and inspiration between blogging and every other way on here. All of our creative staff and techs are beginning to Twitter now.

The Deets

:: This whole Ragamuffin thing is simple. I'm just a screwed up man, in need of adoption, trying to be real. I was poured into, mentored, taught, and sometimes beat into authenticity by my family at Sandals Church. They created this beautiful mess of me and I'm forever grateful.
:: Now in the ATL with my hot wife and kids, I get to create relevant & engaging worship experiences every week. I am being shaped by Jeff Henderson and Andy Stanley at Buckhead Church. From creative sermon planning, to off the hook music experiences. This place is stretching me to my limits and I love it.
:: My life goal is to inspire a movement of authenticity among all generations of Christians that morphs the face of the evangelical church into a place of being real with yourself, others, and God.
