AVL Volunteers Needed

We have an amazing team working hard each Sunday (and more than double-time during Holy Week) but we simply need more help to keep this going moving forward. It takes some time to train, so we'd like to get our next team training so we can give our current team a little breather come summer. No experience needed, we will train every volunteer. If interested reach out to Elise at elise@stmikeschurch.com to get involved!
Each service we need the following positions filled:
  • 1 Sound Tech for streaming sound
  • 1 Sound Tech for sound in the church
  • 1 Video Tech to frame and switch camera angles
  • 1 Video Tech to prepare what camera shot to go to next
  • 1 Tech Director to oversee and coordinate all this together
