The Marketing and Communications Council is sponsoring a "Video Showcase" focusing on how local churches are living out the conference vision to invite through radical hospitality, excite through intentional faith-sharing and unite in risk-taking mission.
Local churches are encouraged to create 30-second to 3-minute videos that show how they are living out the conference vision in these ministry areas. These videos will be posted to the conference website and may be featured on the homepage of the site.
Sample video:
Here's a sample video from Great Bend Trinity's pastor, Jeff Slater.
Basic guidelines:
Be creative. The content and style is up to you. Choose live action, testimonial, slide show (etc.)
Submissions must be in movie format and not PowerPoint or other presentation software
Churches may submit as many videos as desired, but each church may only be featured on the homepage once in the six months following each showcase deadline. All videos will be posted to the website in the new Faith In Action area.
Legal stuff:
No copyrighted material may be used in the video, including any music score.
Signed releases may be required from individuals who are identifiable or identified in the videos and from parents on behalf of depicted minors. Releases are not necessary on footage shot during public events and activities. Sample release forms are available by e-mailing the Area Communications Office.
By participating in the Showcase, you are granting the Kansas West Annual Conference and its successors permission to use, publish, edit, adapt, and/or modify your videos for promotional, educational and other purposes.
Technical stuff:
Submissions should be .mpg, .mov or .avi files. No PowerPoint or other presentation software files will be accepted.
Completed videos may be sent to the Conference Office on:
