A/V Volunteer Team 

May, 2019 

OVERVIEW 
ESUMC members are being invited to become part of our A/V ministry. As you know, we are investing in many 
exciting improvements and repairs to our Audio and Video ministry. These include new equipment and the 
creation of a streaming online presence. These improvements have been lead by Charlie Rajnai, working 
closely with the Worship Planning Team and Trustees. Now we seek to include more of our members in 
becoming a vital part of the improved ministry. This is a new opportunity for anyone interested or curious about 
the technology. 

GOALS 
1. Make the Audio Visual ministry an inspired and exciting part of the worship experience for more 
members. 
2. Offer one on one training by our current staff and volunteers who have years of experience.   
3. Teach rewarding skills in audio, video and computers that can be carried into other fields of work and 
leisure. 
4. Offer opportunities to active members who are of high school age and up.  
5. Current and future students of ministry, communications, music, design, or graphic arts are highly 
encouraged as are current professionals and retirees of the same.
