Training Seminars

We provide training to churches in many aspects of church media. Recently, we’ve provided audio engineer training. In the works: Video production and live streaming. Need training for your volunteers? Let us know.

Video Production icon

Video Production

We love to tell the stories of our churches through video. We’ve been known to recap events, record interviews, and produce video packages for events. Need help with a video production? Let us know!

Live Event Production icon

Live Event Production

The biggest event we produce is Gladstone Camp Meeting each summer. We make sure that all of the technical details are cared for so that attendees (in person and online) can completely focus in on the message. We’ve been known to produce and live stream other events throughout the year.

Church Consulting

Communication is hard. We can help churches and schools think through their communication strategy to improve the connection with their people. We love coming up with solutions to communication problems. Contact us!

Graphic Design icon

Graphic Design and Layout

We work on projects as simple as a single poster, or as complex as branding and visual design for an entire event. The goal: to amplify the values and goals of our clients through our visual approach.

The Oregon Conference of Seventh-day Adventists communication  department is available to answer news media questions.

When church organizations seek to tell their stories in the broader community, we help connect them to the media resources that are interested.

When church organizations find themselves at the center of media attention, we provide assistance in managing media demands and communicating the right message.
