This past summer I had the privilege to make a few videos that were used in the services of the National Association of Free Will Baptist (NAFWB). The theme for the week was “God Is Faithful” so I tried to match the overall theme design with the videos.

We used a countdown before each service to help people know when the service would begin.

Another website, really?

Why waste time with another website when others already have great sites to offer?
My goal for this site is to provide churches and ministries with FREE and inexpensive resources they can use for Worship, Media and Technology. There are a lot of good sites out there and many of them provide or link to quality resources – but most of them only provide resources for very specific products.
