First of all, welcome to our newest staff member, David Russell. David just came on board as our Digital Pastor. For those of you wondering what a Digital Pastor is, No, David is not a droid. He’s human. Flesh and blood. One of the things David is doing is helping us take our theaterchurch.com podcast to the next level.

We’ll make the transition to high definition at our coffeehouse services on March 11. That’ll not only lay the foundation for more video messages in theater locations, but we’re going to begin vidcasting (video podcast) and webcasting. We’ll create an iTunes listing in a week or so. And we’ll begin posting video messages on theaterchurch.com as well.

I honestly think churches will begin seeing their websites as their “TV program” or “TV channel” in a few years. We want to keep reaching more and more people “in person.” We have a five-digit vision. But we also want to keep reaching more and more people “via video.” Short films, vidcasts, sermon trailers and webcasts are a huge part of our e-vangelism and digital discipleship efforts.
