A Conversation with Roland Booth, on his House of Worship Streaming Process
The service happens in the room. Getting it to everyone else takes a process.
Roland Booth joins Tony to share his house of worship streaming process: the media ministry behind putting a church service online, week after week, for the people who cannot be in the building.

Why This Conversation, and Why Now
Worship media has become one of the running threads on this show. In August, Garry B. Jr. walked through streaming a service with free tools. Twice this summer, Jeff Francis took on the sound: first audio and music, then music for in-person and hybrid houses of worship.
Roland brings the piece that ties the gear and the sound together: the process. Buying equipment is one decision. Running a stream every single week, with the same people, and getting the same result, is another thing entirely, and that is where most church media teams either settle into a rhythm or quietly burn out.
What We Expect to Explore
The Process, Start to Finish
- What has to be in place before anyone presses “Go Live”
- How the service is followed and produced while it is happening
- What happens after the stream ends, and why that part matters too
Streaming as Ministry
- Why a church stream is a ministry and not just a technical job
- How to serve the congregation watching at home, not simply show them the room
- Where streaming fits alongside everything else the church already does
The People Behind the Screen
- Who runs the stream, and how a team is trained so Sunday never depends on one person
- Keeping volunteers confident, and keeping them coming back
- What to do on the week something goes wrong
Where to Start
- The first steps for a church that is not streaming yet
- What to fix first when a stream already exists but is not working well
- Making good decisions when the budget is tight
Who This Conversation Is For
This one is for pastors and church leaders, for media team volunteers, and for anyone who has ever been handed a camera and told to “just get the service online.” If your church streams already, bring the problem you have never quite solved. If it does not stream yet, bring the question that has been holding you back.
Roland welcomes questions from the live chat during the broadcast.
