Serving on demand video archives
I’ll be honest, I want the best solution ever! Seriously though, serving archives of the messages/sermons on church websites is an exercise in heavy lifting; video files are clunky, especially when they’re 20-40 minutes long. On average our messages when encoded for web are between 600 and 800 Mb each. Ouch! that’ll eat up some storage and bandwidth fast.
I put this poll up over at ChurchCrunch.com to see what other churches are doing, I’ll break down the results in a day or so. Head over to ChurchCrunch, vote and leave a comment while you’re at it.

We had some great chat going on during the internet campus inaugural experience. Here are some highlights:
“awesome, awesome, awesome! yet another way you guys are reaching out to ensure the relationship with God. it not about where you are, but that He is with you where you’re at.
YES!”
“LOVE the online experience!! Thanks Vince and team for getting this going and offering yet another way to experience God’s word and the great leadership of Gateway.”
“I wouldn’t have attended any service this morning. Thank-you.”
“joining online because i just had foot surgery and can’t make it in today. perfect timing for this launching if you ask me”
“I sense something profound has happened today! This could not have been easy, all the work that went into this was worth it.”
“Glad to see the whole Gateway experience go to the net. I have moved a little over 1 hour north and rarely get there, but going to gateway makes it hard to go to other churches.”
“there is an amazing anointing with this church model – a true sense of community, which is so difficult to truly get, virtually. i really felt like I was standing in a room bumping shoulders with bunch of people. thank you guys!”

We are live!!!
I was up until 2AM last night pushing the new gatewaychurch.com live. Everything is looking good. Just the usual DNS refresh headaches and some email issues.
So this marks the beginning of a whole new era at Gateway Church. I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish in the next few months!
Rock on!!!

So, fill this out. Don’t you love filling out web forms? If you need more details, GO HERE.
