Reaching Out Through Skype Church Service

By Essie Osborn


Ministries have turned to technology to reach out to every member regardless of location. This has enabled them to save on travel expenses yet still minister to people who are not physically present. Skype church service enables individuals to experience real contact and give feedback as well. The elderly or sick persons who cannot travel are enabled to participate.

Technology has brought congregants, cultures and countries together. Students in colleges that are located far away from the parish or elderly people in hospices and home are able to participate. Parties serving in conflict zones or out on humanitarian missions are brought on board.

Members of the church can be informed about missions they support in real time. Those in the field broadcast directly to the congregation without third party intervention. They can see progress and impact through broadcast images. A parish is also able to reach out to all its centers and have an all-inclusive community day.

There are technical issues that enhance or weaken the quality of your communication. It is important to be aware of the bandwidth which your receiver is using. Slow internet connection causes problems with buffering and reduces the quality of communication. The stream will not be consistent with very low sound quality.

The webcam and computer used should have higher specifications. A fast CPU supports seamless connectivity. The best webcams are USB 2.0 and fire wire/IEEE 1394 or anything above that. The fire wire converter or webcam may be replaced by a digital web cam. These accessories make it easy to capture high quality images.

The cable to be used during the setup should be at least six feet. The webcam is positioned in such a way that it faces the speaker you are using. The projection is important to consider since in some instances you will require extra lighting. It ensures that every participating individual is well captured. It is mostly important for indoor services.

The positions of your microphone and speaker determine the quality of sound sent and received. This is crucial if seamless communication is to take place between the two parties. It allows both parties to understand each other. Special settings are provided when the conversation is taken on big screen.

Webcams have been replaced by laptop cameras in some instances. This is guided by the resolution and strength, which also eliminates the need to have additional accessories. Video card and fire wire converters are used to send the feeds.

High quality sound enhances you communication experience. The screen, speaker and microphone you use ensure that the conversation on either ends is flawless. These accessories support the internet connection to make the experience possible. Clear vision and sound are important in this process.

The Skype experience will be determined by how well the technicians setup the apparatus. Mastery of audio and visual settings makes the experience possible. This is a technology that allows ministries to reach out to congregations in any part of the world. The community remains one since they are in regular contact. The ministry or parish is connected at all time and able to share in a single mission.
