CHURCH MEDIA:  Digital Storytellers - The Art of Communicating the Gospel in Worship
Location:  CC Room 202 AB
Presenters:  Len Wilson, Founder/Director, Midnight Oil Productions, Grand Prairie, TX; Jason Moore, Co-Founder/Director, Midnight Oil Productions, Grand Prairie, TX; Orlen Stauffer, Director of Media Ministries, Kempsville Presbyterian Church, Virginia Beach, VA.

Part 1:  Worship in the Digital Age:  Analyze four keys to digital culture and how it affects worship.

Many churches are interested in digital technology but are bound by outdated models of worship and ministry.  They are operating new media with old mindsets.  This session will inspire participants with a vision for digital age worship that will analyze four key components of digital culture and discuss new liturgies for worship in the digital age.

Part 2:  The Art of Communicating the Gospel:  Discover the production process, including how to build a worship image.

The phrase "digital art" may seem like an oxymoron to some.  But every medium and age produces art.  The challenge for the church is to think and act artistically in the means and forms of this culture the way the church so successfully operated in previous cultures.  The second session will include a brief definition of what art is and does in worship, a master class on design, and a breakdown of how exactly to create digital art, including a look at an image in Adobe Photoshop, use of presentation software programs, resource suggestions, and discussion of copyright.

Part 3:  Becoming Digital Storytellers: Participate in a hands-on look at forming teams for digital ministry.

Of course, churches are communities, which means that it takes a group of people with the same vision, working together, to establish a ministry in digital culture.  This session will discuss strategies for forming digital age teams, including discussion of creative and technical, or production teams.  Participants will participate in a hands-on team mini-brainstorm dialogue.
