IBC Ministries - Media

The name 'Media Ministry' may be slightly misleading. Everybody seems to mean a different thing when talking about "Media". There is New Media, and Multimedia or Print Media. 'Media' is plural for 'medium' - an agent for transmitting a message between senders and receivers. In today's visual world, messages are sent creatively - be that in advertisement or TV or print. Those forced to just 'sit and listen' become quickly bored with what is being presented. That's why successful media is narrative in form, engaging the audience on multiple levels through visual and aural imagery.

IBC's media ministry is tasked with using the means of modern technologies to get the message across. Be it print-flyer and brochures, online content like this website or an interactive CD Rom or a sermon supported through PowerPoint, video clips or flash presentations - we want to get the attention of people on the inside and outside of IBC and get the message across. What message? That Church is not really about getting fed and being entertained. IBC is more than anything about integration, participation and involvement! We believe that media provides us with effective tools to reach out to our congregation, the city and the world!

For us, investing in equipment and software is an important investment because they are tools that help us take people deeper into their 'interactive relationship' with Jesus Christ. They help us get people 'online' with God.
