Learn the concepts and skills to improve your church's live-stream.
Even if you're a complete beginner, or you don't have fancy equipment,
you can become THE go-to Video Pro at your church.
No, this doesn't have to become your new 'career' or second job.
But in today's world, every church needs a Video Pro.
(And it's a lot easier than you think!)
No more "hoping and praying" on a Sunday morning that nothing goes wrong,
or spending hours digging through forums looking for answers when they do.

so you can finally get your gear right and run services with confidence.
Not only does this course cover the "what" of live video (equipment, signal flow, etc.),
but it's also FULL of detailed tutorials to answer the "how" - no matter your setup!
From keying lyrics over your video to getting the best camera angles,
we've got you covered.

This is the answer you've been waiting for.
Live Streaming can actually be fun... (really!)
But my guess is you're one of the thousands of people for whom it's become a burden.
Over a year of adapting, surviving, and "figuring it out" every Sunday has taken its toll,
and you're not sure how to get out of the cycle.
Your church needs you, but you know just enough to get by every week.
You don't feel qualified to train anyone else to help you,
and you don't have anyone else to lean on.
As someone who used to be completely mystified by live video, let me tell you:
It doesn't have to be this way.
Unlike a lot of things in life, success in live-streaming has nothing to do with
talent, luck, or natural ability.
(Fun fact: Nobody was born knowing how to set a white balance or frame a shot.)
Instead, it's about combining a little bit of basic knowledge and the right systems
with attention to detail.
Anyone can do that - you included!
This course will give you that knowledge in easy-to-digest pieces,
so you can create an awesome live-stream even if you're on budget equipment.
Just imagine being able to sit at your production desk with CONFIDENCE,
knowing you can handle whatever comes up.
Imagine being your own troubleshooting resource,
instead of frantically scanning forums for answers.
Imagine knowing how to make your live-stream
twice as good, with only a few simple tweaks.
With the Live Video Pro course, that reality has never been closer.
All it takes is a few clicks.
Are you ready?
A little backstory...
I USED TO BE IN YOUR SHOES.
I served in church every week for years, and eventually became a full-time pastor.
I had a lot of "jobs" at the church, as most youth pastors do.
I was responsible for leading a team, planning worship, preaching... and also wrangling teenagers
Along the way, I also learned how critical production is for worship environments, and
especially the power of good video.
Since those days, I've learned production from some of the absolute BEST in the industry.
Now, I spend my days training churches around the world how to use video for ministry.
Not too long ago, I realized something:
Money is always a factor in church, but it's not actually the biggest hurdle churches face.
What is, you ask?
Training.
You can have the greatest equipment in the world, but without a trained team to operate it,
you might as well have nothing.
I created the Live Video Pro course because I wanted churches to have an affordable way
to quickly and efficiently improve their live-streams.
Whether you're paid or a volunteer, getting certified as a Video Director
gives you the same foundation as the pros who run massive broadcasts -
giving you a huge leg up in helping your church grow!
Every church needs a Video Pro.

Here's we'll tackle questions like: Where should your cameras go? What settings should you use? How do you frame and set up your shots?

Making this whole course cost around $800...
But I've made it only $97(!)
Why so cheap?
I created this course because I believe
every church should have a Video Pro.
So, to be totally honest, I'd rather have 1,000
churches go through it at a lower price
than charge more,
but only help like 50 or 100 churches.
I believe video is the church's hidden superpower.
But without the right knowledge, it goes untapped.
It's time we changed that.
Frequently Asked Questions
No problem! You can find the tutorials that fit your setup and just focus on those. As your system grows and changes, just send your team to the sections that they need, and you’ll be up and running faster than ever!
Yes! If you don’t have a hardware switcher yet, the tutorials on camera setup and operation, PP7 setup and streaming, and even the basic OBS/YouTube tutorials will help solidify things for your team.
Yes. This is a Certification course, so there are quizzes and your personal progress is tracked.
However, for production teams we have the Team Bundle, which allows you to add multiple logins for one flat price.
Not to worry! The tutorials on cameras include principles that should be applied no matter what type of camera you’re using, so make sure you check them out! Plus, all the other elements of streaming still apply.
There's no such thing!
Okay, okay, there probably is. But that shouldn't stop you.
Yes, there are course sections you may not need (like where to place your cameras), but most of the content in those sections is still critical for learning how your system works, and how to fix it if something goes wrong.
Having an understanding of HOW your system is put together, instead of just WHAT button to press, is the difference between an average volunteer and a LIVE VIDEO PRO.
The idea with Live Video Pro is that each module shows the basic underlying gear and principles of live video, so it’s all pretty objective. There is still room for you to discuss with your team how you implement those skills for your church, but this resource will give everyone a level starting point with the necessary training required for any kind of live-streaming.

No matter how big your church or how tight your budget, you'll be able to confidently take the reins of your live stream on a Sunday and crush it.
Spencer's training was SO helpful for our volunteers, and even for me. I don't know how we could have live-streamed without him!
Spencer's expertise and guidance were instrumental in helping us get set up to live-stream successfully. The volunteer training was so helpful, since most of our people aren't very tech-savvy.
Working with Church Video School really helped us figure out how to stream effectively, without wasting time or money.
