Don’t Get Noticed

Creating a distraction-free environment for your church services helps realign your congregations’s focus on what matters most. Be prepared, manage mistakes, and use the resources available to you well. These things will enhance your services without drawing attention to the production itself.

Balance Production and Worship

Effective production should enhance the worship experience without becoming the focal point. Overemphasis on production can detract from the service's core message. Production should support, not overshadow, the platform. Excessive focus on lighting during a Christmas service, for example, can indicate overdoing production.

Preparation

A significant aspect of distraction-free production is thorough preparation and rehearsal. Neglecting these basics can lead to avoidable distractions during the service.
  • Rehearsals: Regularly practice transitions and ensure all technical aspects are checked.
  • Attention to Detail: Ensure mics are on at the right time and transitions are smooth.

Learn from Mistakes

Striving for a completely mistake-free service is unrealistic and not the primary goal. Instead, focus on how to manage and learn from mistakes to improve continuously. Accept that mistakes will happen and use them as learning opportunities.

FILO (First In Last Out) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization built around supporting technical artists who serve the local church, designed to provide skill development, community and inspiration to equip technical artists to become effective contributors to their local church.
