Who is already streaming and want to improve what they have? Lots of ways to stream. Today we are going to take you through a wide spectrum of solutions from cheap to not so cheap. Hopefully you will be able to figure out where you need to be on spectrum and solutions to get you there.

Why You Should Do This It is now technologically and financially feasible for any church anywhere to stream worship and other events on the web. Today we are going to show you how! First we will start with why you should do this. Beyond being technically and financially feasible, let’s talk about what Resurrection has learned streaming worship online.

Why You Should Do This “COR's online worship is perfect on sick days, or travel days when I am unable to physically get to a church. I feel like I am right there” - Stephen “Having Resurrection in our lives, if only by internet, is an important spiritual experience for us.” – Bob

Why You Should Do This “Best of all was your touching personal note to my wife. It brought tears to my eyes and hers too when she read it. To think that a man we have never met living over 1000 miles away would remember after a year that Shyrl had lost her Mom and send a note – that’s truly wonderful.” - Lars & Shryl

Why You Should Do This It was so difficult to bring mother to church the past few years.  The opportunity for them to hear Adam’s lessons, and hear the symphony and the choir was a blessing at the end of their lives. - Linda
