What's Inside

One checklist. Every Sunday morning role.

1
Night-before prep, so nothing gets caught last minute
2
Sound check, in the order that actually catches problems
3
Livestream, from encoder to platform, before you go live
4
Lighting looks and scene checks
5
ProPresenter, lyrics, scripture, and media loaded and ready
6
Post-service wrap-up, so next week starts easier

You're running sound, streaming, and slides with one volunteer and whatever gear you've got, not a full production crew. It's easy for one small thing, a scene cue, a battery, a stream key, to get missed until it's already Sunday morning.

This checklist walks through every role start to finish: night-before prep, sound, livestream, lighting, and ProPresenter, then post-service wrap-up. It's built for churches under 200 members and the volunteer teams actually running the booth.

I've been doing church media for 23 years, starting back when I was 12 logging timecodes for my dad's TV program. This is the checklist I wish someone had handed me on day one.
