Amplify Media Subscription Replaces Former EOC Media Center
Resourcing requires adaptability. Beginning this month, the former Media Center is closed, and East Ohio Conference churches have the opportunity to join Amplify Media to stream thousands of digital study, worship, and devotional videos, each with an emphasis on Wesleyan perspectives and each accessible anywhere from any device. While we celebrate the longtime faithful ministry of the Media Center and those who served in it, conversations about an Amplify Media partnership were born from our commitment to be good stewards of apportioned resources. Last year fewer than one in four churches used the apportionments-supported DVD resources of the Media Center.

An Amplify Media basic membership costs $29.99/month and provides access for up to 100 members of a member church to access/download resources. For East Ohio Conference churches that join Amplify Media by March 30, 2023, by using the online coupon code EOCUMC there is a special rate during the first year of membership.

Amplify Media is being offered through the Connectional Ministries office of the EOC.
The Connectional Ministries office connects East Ohio Conference pastors, congregations, and faith communities with resources to assist in fulfilling our shared mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
Visit the Connectional Ministries webpage to learn about their services and resources.
