Volunteers Needed

The Bridge Community Church located in Wilder, Kentucky, is currently recruiting volunteers for our new media program. No experience is necessary. If you’ve ever had an interest in media, filmmaking, or visual arts this is your opportunity. Have you ever wanted to learn how to use a video camera or ever desired to edit? We will teach you everything you need to know to get started. We especially would like to talk to you if you have experience as a videographer, editor, producer, writer or director.

Our new media team will be responsible for shooting Sunday morning services which will air on local cable in Northern Kentucky and will be posted to the Internet and other social media outlets. The media team will also create original content which will be used on Sunday mornings to support Pastor Bo Weaver’s message. Future plans call for the creation of a podcast which will be distributed on multiple platforms.

Are you a creative person? Take this opportunity and join our new and innovative media ministry team to explore your creative side. Whether you want to be behind the camera or in front of the camera, there is a place for you. We are looking for innovators who can help us to communicate the message of Christ’s love and forgiveness.

Maybe your interests are graphic design or Photo Shop. There are so many ways that you can contribute in helping to launch our new media initiative. Orientation and training will start on April 10, 2012 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Classes will run for four weeks.

We ask that you make a commitment to serve at least twice monthly with a minimum of six hours of service. All volunteers are expected to attend The Bridge Community Church.
