AV Team

Lights... Camera... Action! Whether worshiping in person or online both the contemporary and traditional worship services at First Broad Street depend on volunteers behind the scenes who help to make our church services great. No experience is required we will teach you everything you need to know. If you have ever wanted to operate a camera, a light board, a sound board, or livestream we have a place for you to help us and an opportunity for your to learn to use some tools that may help you even beyond Sunday. Reach out to our worship staff to let us know if you can help.
