Expanding Mission Through Skype Church Service

By Essie Osborn


Technology has made it possible for people in distant places to participate in events as though they are physically present. Skype church service enables ministers to reach congregations in another branch or parish. It also is used to reach people who are sick or incapacitated in any way. It ensures that every member remains connected regardless of his location across the world.

It has been used to reduce the distance between cultures, countries and congregants. This includes reaching out to students away in a college or the elderly who are unable to physically attend. Members and children serving different missions in war zones have been reached through the calls.

Ministries have found an incredible way of reporting progress in missions to their members. A single call will give a live feed to worshipers. Centers of a single parish are able to come together in worship. It reduces the need for travel and other logistics when celebrating community days.

The quality of your interaction is determined by how well you address the technical aspects of this technology. The bandwidth of the receiver should be probed to ensure that it is the best quality possible. This will prevent buffering during streaming. Slow internet will cause a lot of hitches.

The specifications on equipment used, including computers and webcams determine the experience you will have. A USB 2.0 or fire wire/IEEE 1394 webcam or higher quality gives the best experience. A digital camera may be used in place of the webcam or fire wire converter. High quality support accessories enhance the experience.

The cable to be used during the setup should be at least six feet. The webcam is positioned in such a way that it faces the speaker you are using. The projection is important to consider since in some instances you will require extra lighting. It ensures that every participating individual is well captured. It is mostly important for indoor services.

The positioning of the caller and both the microphone and speaker is crucial in enhancing quality communication. It ensures that you capture what the people on the other side are saying and make yourself audible to them. The best option for a large congregation is using the full screen.

Laptop cameras may replace the webcam if their strength and resolution are reliable. The video feeds are sent through fire wire converters or video card. Special adjustments are required where Skype will be used for the big screen.

The quality of sound determines the kind of experience you will have. The microphones, speakers and screens enhance the interaction. The conversion of sound on both ends should be such that the quality is maintained. The listener should clearly hear what the person is saying on the other side.

Technicians have the capacity to make or break a Skype experience. The audio and visual options must be mastered depending on the equipment available and the size of congregation being served. Ministers can reach distant centers and congregants in remote areas using this technology. It is a perfect way of maintaining communion regardless of the engagements and location of your congregants.
