Media

Taylor Road offers many forms of media to keep you informed of what is going on at the church that you can access in the menu on the left hand side. Watch this past weeks morning sermon in the TV/Video section. Listen to the sermon in the audio section. Download the weekly Worship Guide or the monthly Archways to know whats going on at Taylor Road.

The Media Ministry at Taylor Road serves many purposes that are basically divided in six areas.

- Print: This includes the design and production through our in house color printing facility of all mailing materials, brochures, weekly worship guide, and the monthly Archways magazine. Check out each of the archives of some of these print products here: Archways, Worship Guide.

- Broadcast: The Word for Life is the weekly TV broadcast from Taylor Road seen locally on CBS 8 WAKA on Sundays at 10:30 AM. You can also see the broadcast video on this web site by visiting here. The media ministry also produces a 30 minute program weekly for the student ministry which can also be seen on the student website in the video section. Other short form videos are also produced using a Apple Mac Book Pro and a Apple Mac Mini with Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express, Motion, and IMovie depending on the application needed. Live video is streamed via UStream every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.

- Web Site: The content is constantly being updated as more information comes available and as things change at Taylor Road. It's a constant project of improvement and is meant to be a tool not only for Taylor Road members, but for individuals seeking more information about Taylor Road. Our website is a template based system of cascading style sheets through the E-Zekiel content management system.

- Advertising: All advertising decisions are made through the media ministry.

- Worship Production: This includes all of the behind scene production elements that hopefully you never notice taking place during the worship services. Sound, Lights, IMAG (image magnification, screens, powerpoint are also common names). We currently use in the Worship Center a Yamaha M7CL-48 digital audio console. IMAG is controlled by a MacBook using Pro Presenter software. Lights are controlled by an 96 channel ETC light board controlling 8 house light sections and 48 fixed par and spot lights, 4 RGB cans, and 8 three foot RGB light bars for wall washs.

- IT: All networking and maintenance of our server and account managing system (Shelby) also fall under this ministry. This can be simple projects such as setting up a new computer all the way to running Cat-5 cables throughout the church. Taylor Road has also been set up as a free WIFI spot. Bring your laptop, i-touch or other device that can receive wireless internet signals and you can be online at any time while at Taylor Road. As a general rule PC's, namely the HP brand are used at Taylor Road. There are also several Apple's that you will find being used in the creative areas that fall under the Media Ministry and also in the Student Ministry.

The Media Ministry is under the direction of Communications Director, Brian Harris.
