This again is an overlooked matter, a definition not made that is resulting in a lot of abuse as Dr Myles Munroe rightly said,
“When the purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable”
There's a group of individuals often working behind the scenes to enhance the pastor's ability to fulfil their divine calling. These individuals are the church creatives, and their role is simple and beautifully summarized in Psalms 68:11 (KJV),
The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
You may need to read that over again until you get it. The Lord surely has given the Word, but a company of people must take the responsibility of publishing it, and these people are the Church Media Creative.
Now, let's explore how church creatives embody this truth by helping pastors fulfil their roles in the ministry of the Word.
Empowering Worship Through Visuals
Church creatives partner with pastors to bring visual depth to worship services. By crafting immersive visuals, impactful sermon slides, and captivating worship backgrounds, they enable pastors and the worship team to lead the congregation in a more engaging and focused worship experience.
Visualizing Spiritual Teachings
By collaborating with pastors, church creatives convert complex spiritual teachings into easily comprehensible visuals, service flyers and social media graphics. This partnership ensures that congregants and online audiences not only hear the Word but also see its essence come alive before their eyes.
Capturing Sacred Moments
The partnership between pastors and creatives extends to preserving sacred moments. Church creatives capture important moments in the church and preserve them, for reference, learning and testimonial purposes.
Extending the Word Beyond the Pulpit
Creatives assist pastors in extending the reach of their messages. Through social media graphics, video snippets, and shareable content, they share the Word beyond the confines of the church, impacting lives far and wide.
In the spirit of Psalms 68:11, church creatives form this great company that works alongside pastors. Their creativity becomes a conduit for the Lord's message to reach hearts, all while easing the pastor's responsibilities. As the Lord announces His word through pastors, church creatives stand as faithful allies, helping pastors efficiently communicate, engage, and inspire the congregation.
Let us honour the invaluable partnership between pastors and creatives, appreciating their joint efforts to glorify God and touch lives through their collaborative ministry. I hope henceforth, you begin to see yourself; being a Church Media Creative as a big part of God's agenda on the earth. -------------------------------------------------------------
