live production as a platform

christ our king community church · raleigh

guide

V.0.1.0

i serve in audiovisual and digital-media leadership at christ our king community church (cokcc) in raleigh, north carolina.

the environment is effectively a small live-production technology platform: video, audio, presentation systems, livestreaming, led displays, visual design, volunteer workflows, and the digital presence that surrounds sunday.

the same systems habits i use at work apply here — reduce manual steps, document the path, make the result repeatable.

domains

9.1

video & broadcast

live switching, multiple sources, and online delivery with an eye toward consistency between the room and the stream.

9.2

presentation

propresenter workflows for sermon slides, scripture, lyrics, announcements, countdowns, stage displays, and macros that make services repeatable.

9.3

led & display

led wall presentation routing and 1920×1080 content workflows treated as part of the visual system, not a separate last-minute export.

9.4

audio

front-of-house and broadcast routing so the in-room mix and the stream share a coherent audio path.

9.5

streaming

youtube and facebook distribution with deliberate attention to parity between worship in the room and what people experience online.

9.6

visual systems

sermon media as a complete system — title, scripture, points, lyrics, countdowns, and social assets designed together.

visual systems

sermon media as a complete visual system — not disconnected slides. examples from series work:

think again

coordinated title, scripture, message-point, lyric, countdown, and social assets for a full sermon series visual system.

the danger of getting ahead of jesus

same systems approach — one visual language across room screens, stream overlays, and shareable graphics.

digital strategy

church technology work has expanded beyond sunday production into digital infrastructure: website modernization, domain strategy, google workspace, source control, ci/cd, and branding.

the objective is a maintainable foundation where domains, email, hosting, deployment, and content strategy work together — the same product thinking applied to ministry systems.

production principle

reduce the number of manual steps required to produce a consistent result — whether the workload is a kubernetes platform or a sunday service.
