Our Services
The AV Church provides many Audio and Video services that fill the needs of the local church community. Services include: System training, New Building AV Consulting, System Design, System Installation, System maintenance, and System Operation. Technology for worship is not always the answer. Sometimes a simple change in the systems or in the operation can make the biggest difference.
With our years of dedicated audio & video service to our own churches we have the goal of sharing our knowledge. System reviews are FREE! Call today to schedule your appointment to have your system review. A system review can point out areas of improvement you may be able to do yourself. Simple cleaning can always extend the life of your AV Systems. These simple procedures can normally be done by your own volunteers. If not we can schedule a time to take care of any routine maintenance.
Here is a list of the services that we provide:
Training
If you always find that you are short handed maybe a new training program would help. Training new people helps by giving your main staff a break and slowing down the possibility of burn out. Training on a bimonthly to a yearly basis can also help foster the fellowship that brings a team together and helps them overcome new challenges. Most companies only train on systems they install and only in the first month. We train on all systems. A free system review is required at least two week before any training sessions are scheduled.
New Building Consultation
If your church is planning a building project, the AV systems are usually left for the last step. This poor planning can lead to thousands of dollars in change orders by the other trades to finish the prep work required for todays systems. We sit down with you months ahead to design the system and plan out requirements that need to be put in place during the construction. We work with your architect to make sure you have plenty of room for growth and making any audio and video system become part of the facility not in the way of a beautiful design.
Design
If you are already in a building or plans are already in place we will work to design a system that has the least amount of change orders for your budget. Systems are designed with the idea of simplicity. Keep it simple and you keep it easy. We must balance keeping the system flexible and able to grow with your needs to the easy of use that your volunteers may require.
Installation
We maintain reasonable rates so as not to break the bank on simple installations. We offer a change order discount. If we install the main system and then you decided to add a new screen or camera or hanging mic, we discount our labor 20% because you are already a customer. The idea is that cost overruns should not stop you from doing what is required to make the system the best it can be.
Maintenance
Regular system cleaning can extend the life of your system. Sometimes it is as simple as one appointment and we can train your volunteers to perform the necessary cleaning and basic repairs. If not we can set up a service contract to come out and regularly perform the needed check ups. Basic service contracts start at $50 a month for standard cleaning, cable checks, and safety inspections.
Operation
One very large need we have discovered is sometimes you just need an extra hand. If your staff or volunteers need a vacation it is no reason for your service quality to be sacrificed. We will come out to check the system and learn how you normally run your service and then will be available to operate your systems for the service. Times are booked in advanced and are very limited so plan ahead for those summer vacations.
Video Production
Do you have a special event or fundraiser coming up? We can create a Video announcement and or a DVD that people can take home to learn about your growing ministry. What about a special anniversary celebration Video? Time is always important for these projects the more time and planning that is allowed the more professional the outcome.
FREE System Review
A System Review will look over your entire Audio and Video system. We will check any documentation to see that it is up to date and accessible. We also review routine maintenance that can be done to extend the life of your AV System. We look for some normal user error settings and show you how to correct them. Some of these errors affect your system and its overall quality. Most systems (even our competitions) have been designed for your space and re-patching or bypassing installed components often are found to cause larger problems than the ones someone was trying to solve when they disconnected them. We also look at the larger picture of; does your system fit your ministry? Sometimes a simple adjustment is the solution and no costly changes will be needed. Again the System Review is FREE!
