St Mark's Church, Battersea Rise

Resources for Video Production Team

A team of members and friends of St. Mark's are in the process of exploring how to create quality video material to help ministries in various creative ways. This section of the website will be a resource for that team and will document aspects of the work as it evolves.

An initial meeting on 26 Mar 2006 (minutes ) produced the following vision/mission objectives:

‘Products’ must add value and/or insight
Purpose driven communication
Should be a service (ie. not a drain on us / the clergy)
Good co-ordination, awareness and communication inter and intra team
Thinking outside the box
Quality should be the best quality for God (it is, after all, a form of worship)
Use our God given gifts
Constructive and encouraging to each other
