of church buildings, churches learned fast how digital communications can enhance their mission and ministry.</p> </blockquote> <p>As we begin to emerge from lockdown, church teams face the new challenge of a hybrid form of church. We've compiled the following resources to support you as you continue to develop your digital presence.</p> <p>You can jump to the section you want here:</p> <div class="accordion-row" style="cursor:pointer"> <div class="accordion-row-closed accordion-row-title">The Basic: Equipment</div> <div class="accordion-row-body"> <p>You don't have to break the bank in order to get your church online, but we know that many churches will have been making do over lockdown.</p> <p>Equipment costs could range significantly from doing something very simple, using little more than a smartphone or computer webcam, to purchasing ‘film’ quality video and sound equipment. We’ve put together some suggestions based upon creating a basic functional setup that will work for the majority of church environments.</p> <p><strong>Video</strong></p> <p>Whether you are live-streaming or pre-recording a video, the equipment you use may vary.</p> <p>For <a href="https://www.zoom.us/meetings" target="_blank">Zoom</a> or <a href="https://gsuite.google.com/intl/en_uk/products/meet/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=emea-GB-all-en-dr-bkws-all-all-trial-b-googlemeet-1008069&utm_content=text-ad-none-none-DEV_c-CRE_435161274381-ADGP_Hybrid%20%7C%20AW%20SEM%20%7C%20BKWS%20~%20BMM_M:1_GB_EN_Neutral_Meet%20Misc-KWID_43700053717452398-kwd-405456583893-userloc_1006699&utm_term=KW_%2Bmeet%20%2Bgoogle-ST_%2Bmeet%20%2Bgoogle&gclid=Cj0KCQjwl4v4BRDaARIsAFjATPkm74Nb_xoijiVxonwC8svR_IIkbO95Kxeis3BPSD46ZUcmzRbZ8o4aAsjAEALw_wcB" target="_blank">Google Meet</a> uses, your phone camera, tablet or laptop’s built-in webcam will almost certainly suit your needs. If you have a desktop machine that doesn’t have a camera, but through which you would join these online meetings, you will need to buy something.</p> <p>The choice is broad but it’s worth finding one that includes a microphone and has had some positive user reviews, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/microphone-Streaming-denoising-Automatic-Conference/dp/B0892RZXTR/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=webcam&qid=1594040279&s=photo&sr=1-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyMFhTTTRRRzI4T0xIJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjIzODc0OVFOVlg1SklEMUVCJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwMzE5NjYySks4SVcxWE5WOVc5JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==" target="_blank">something like this (click here)</a> would suit most desk-based purposes.</p> <p>If you’re filming more broadly in your church building, for instance, a Sunday service, your choices become broader. Most modern personal smartphones or tablets are in all likelihood going to be able to film to an acceptable standard for your needs. They also have the advantage of being able to connect to the internet when live-steaming.</p> <p>If you wish to invest in some new video equipment, about £300+ is the starting price you should be considering (multiply this many times for ultra-high quality equipment). Chosen well this will resource your church with both a camera and video recorder for several years.</p> <ul> <li>Christ Church, Tunbridge Wells, have been exploring their equipment options. They’ve kindly shared their research with us. It ranges from a budget option right up to high end. View their <a href="/content/pages/documents/1595954196.pdf">Live Streaming Tech list here</a></li> <li>The Diocese of Bristol has also put together a suggested equipment list. Find it <a href="https://www.bristol.anglican.org/news/church-online-in-the-next-phase-advice-and-considerations.php">here</a> (Scroll down to find the Technology Solutions section)</li> </ul> <p>To help future-proof your investment, look for models that can connect to WIFI and have interchangeable lenses. Two options from Canon to consider would be the Canon EOS 4000D DSLR and the Canon EOS 2000d. When purchasing a camera, it’s worth adding a case and if the budget allows a spare battery and additional memory cards can come in useful.</p> <p><strong>Sound</strong></p> <p>With even the most basic smartphones having the filming capacity to meet most needs, it’s important to then ensure the sound quality is good.</p> <p>Viewers are quite forgiving of poor video, but not sound.</p> <p>The Church of England Digital Team has produced two blogs that will help you gain a better understanding of what to consider. They also make suggestions for what you might choose to purchase.

Without spending many hundreds of pounds on lighting equipment and spending many hours learning how to use it to best effect, try to experiment with what you have at your disposal already.</p> <p>If your church benefits from lots of natural light or is already well-lit with artificial light, it’s likely that for the purposes of online streaming service or pre-recording something, you will already be okay.</p> <p>If you experiment with the recording, you might find that there are corners where people won’t be well lit, and so for these areas learn to avoid them when filming.</p> <p>As a general rule, you should ensure that the strongest light source is behind the camera, not in front. <a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/How-to-set-up-to-film-a-video-on-your-phone" target="_blank">This blog (click here)</a> from the Church of England digital labs team gives some general advice around this.</p> <p><strong>Need more advice?</strong></p> <p>Here are suggestions for blogs, Facebook groups and online forums where you can find lots more advice and tips, as well as support.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DigitalChurchToolkit/">The Digital Church Toolkit</a> - a consultancy team, but with an excellent Facebook presence that shares tips, resources and webinars on all things Digital church: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DigitalChurchToolkit/">https://www.facebook.com/DigitalChurchToolkit/</a></li> <li>A blog from the Church of England Digital Team on practical next steps for churches wanting to explore their digital engagement out of lockdown: <a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/more/church-resources/digital-labs/labs-learning-blog/supporting-congregations-and-people-exploring?">Supporting congregations and people exploring</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/more/church-resources/digital-labs/labs-learning-blog/31-amazing-tools-and-resources-support-your">31 amazing tools and resources to support your online - or offline - church services</a> - Church of England blog</li> <li><a href="https://bryonytaylor.com/category/coronavirus-help/">Coronavirus Help: Rev Bryony Taylor</a>: A fantastic blog full of practical 'how to videos' on how to do church online, especially if you are on your own, or have limited time and people resources.</li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOdQXbVNrVA&t=3s">How to make videos</a> - A great little film from the Diocese of Manchester, giving you tips on how to make your self-shot films on your phone look good.</li> <li><a href="https://youtu.be/NjlDnpGgupY">An introduction to Open Broadcast Software (OBS)</a> - Adam Pyrke, Curate at St Justus</li> <li><a href="https://premierchristianmedia.co.uk/16DQ-6XY9K-3462C0987B2645C3619915D2C28AC9EA0793ED/cr.aspx?fbclid=IwAR3d4iLsO0BwzWSn1DGP-jYyV-jkbhf0m6GhfKGyOdGnHDy_ANzQqaOZsf8">Premier Christian Digital webinars</a> - a variety of topics explored, from the practical to the more reflective.

However, for many, it has begun to highlight issues around connectivity while in a church building.</p> <p>If your church does not already have WIFI, or the signal strength of mobile devices is poor or unreliable, now might be the time to focus on solutions to this, not least because as well as making live streaming from the church possible, it also opens the door to fuller use of things such as card readers.</p> <p><strong>Where to start</strong></p> <ul> <li>A good place to start is the 'Connectivity' pages on the Church of England website. <a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/connectivity" target="_blank">Click here to visit those pages</a>. This will take you through various stages including 'why get connected', 'what solutions are available, 'legal considerations' and 'Grants and funding'. </li> <li>Audiovisual and electrical wiring advice can be found on the <a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/more/church-resources/churchcare/advice-and-guidance-church-buildings/audio-visual-and-electrical" target="_blank">Church of England website here</a>.</li> <li><a href="/content/pages/documents/1596117860.pdf">Digital Connectivity - What permissions do you need?</a> - The Diocese of Rochester’s Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) have put together details of things you may or may not need permission for to get your building connected.</li> <li>Parishes can benefit from the Parish Buying platform to connect their church buildings. <a href="https://www.parishbuying.org.uk/categories/phone-and-broadband/fixed-line-phone-and-broadband" target="_blank">Click here for more details</a>.</li> <li>Learning more about benefiting from good connectivity with regards to <a href="https://www.rochester.anglican.org/resources/stewardship/" target="_blank">Contactless giving, running an online giving campaign, can be found on our Generosity and Stewardship pages</a>.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Explore mobile WIFI</strong></p> <p>Sometimes physically connecting your church to a cabled telephone line may just not be feasible. In which case, purchasing a <a href="https://www.broadbandchoices.co.uk/mobile-broadband/guides/mobile-wifi">portable WIFI hub</a> may work for you as it has done for some in our Diocese and elsewhere.</p> <p>A portable Wi-Fi hub is a small device that lets you use the internet when you're out and about.</p> <p>These mobile WIFI hubs work by using a normal phone signal to offer WIFI to your church. From this, you can connect the devices that you need to (usually only a limited number at a time) so you can stream your services or use contactless card readers. Here are a few steps to take:</p> <ol> <li>Check the signal strength in your area first, you can do this <a href="https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/" target="_blank">by clicking here</a>. Particularly look at the Upload speed. You want a minimum of 2mg - the higher the number the better quality your stream will be.</li> <li>If you can, test the areas in your church building where the signal is best on different networks. Your congregation might be able to help if members are on different mobile networks to see which one seems to be the strongest inside your church.</li> <li>Once you've settled on a network using your own tests and the <a href="https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/" target="_blank">Ofcom checker</a> contact the network operator to purchase the device. You might at this stage find this best to do 'in-store should you have any questions.</li> <li>It varies, but much like a mobile phone contract, you might expect to pay £20-£30 per month (or more with more data).</li> </ol> <p><strong>Be safe:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Always be careful about giving any wifi codes or access to visitors or congregations. It could put you at risk of people downloading unsavoury content via your WIFI, as well as slow down your connectivity.</li> <li>You should also consider changing passwords regularly</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-row" style="cursor:pointer"> <div class="accordion-row-closed accordion-row-title">Just can't get internet?</div> <div class="accordion-row-body"> <p>Can't get online, don't worry. Many of our churches have reached out in other ways, by setting up phone sermon and prayer lines, as well as emails and podcasts. Back in the building? Then why not prop up the phone on the altar and share the service that way?</p> <p>As long as you are connecting with your community in the way they find most useful, online or not, that is just as good as being fully online.</p> <ul> <li>A number of churches have set up free phone lines which allow people to dial in and listen to sermons and prayers.
