Show Notes
Digital discipleship is transforming how churches connect with their communities. In this episode of Conversation with Ministry Leaders we sit down with Kevin Martin, IT Director at the South Carolina Baptist Convention. Kevin shares his insights on the critical role technology plays in modern ministry. In fact he explains how technology and visuals transform church Growth.
First, he explores how people discover churches today. Statistics reveal that 80% of people research churches online before visiting. Therefore, your digital presence matters more than ever. Kevin explains how poor visual quality can actually drive people away from your ministry.
Next, he examines practical production standards. These include proper lower third placement, color matching, and strategic camera shots. Kevin emphasizes that excellence doesn’t mean perfection. However, maintaining industry standards prevents distractions from the gospel message.
Additionally, he addresses staffing strategies for church media teams. Kevin recommends a hybrid approach combining internal project management with external expertise. Don’t fear outsourcing when it serves your ministry goals better.
Finally, he tackles the bottom line impact of visual quality. Poor visuals communicate carelessness to potential visitors. This directly affects church growth, tithing, and cooperative giving. In today’s digital age, visual excellence isn’t optional—it’s essential for effective ministry and furthering the Great Commission.
