Dick Gruber and Jason Rhode discuss using video in children’s church.

Dick shared the following guidelines for use of video technology in children’s church:

Stay away from using lengthy video material
Purpose is paramount
Record and edit the clip to fit the message
Involve the children in production of video support
Never use it to fill time
Good video doesn’t have to cost a lot

When to use a video clip…

It’s noticeable that the kids are bored with your live presentation
It’s appropriate for an evangelistic or special emphasis day
It’s needed to replace a worker who is missing in action

The following resources were mentioned:
