ELEMENTARY JUNIOR TECH TRAINING

OUR MISSION

The Life Kids Ministry exists to inspire and equip families to love God and love others. Through the service you do as an Elementary Tech Volunteer, you have the opportunity to create an environment for spiritual growth and to equip teachers to bring the gospel to the next generation.

junior TECH VOLUNTEER EXPECTATIONS

  • You are in a role of leadership and are an ambassador of Christ when you are serving in your role. Tech volunteers are expected to always conduct themselves with patience, love, and grace towards both the children and the other volunteers.

  • Keep discussion age-appropriate and biblically-centered with the mission in mind. Your peers will mimic everything that you say and do, please lead by example.

  • Remain in the classroom throughout the duration of the service. If you need to leave the classroom for any reason, please speak with the teacher of the classroom.

  • When you are not running tech during service, it is expected that you assist the Lead Teacher with whatever they may need. This may include: organizing the tech booth, giving the teacher bible bucks, etc. There are always opportunities to serve more! Never let yourself get bored in your position.

  • The tech booth is designed to be a one-person position. We ask that no one accompany you in the tech booth (except in cases of training).

THE TECH

PROPRESENTER

WHAT IS PROPRESENTER? ‘ProPresenter’ is the program that runs slides and videos that are presented onto the projector.

HOW DO I USE IT? Propresenter is very easy to use. Changing slides and videos is as easy as clicking on those slides/videos on the screen of our Mac Computer.

WHEN DO I USE PROPRESENTER DURING THE SERVICE? You will use ProPresenter during the service when playing video countdowns, playing worship song videos, putting up bible verse slides, playing bible story videos, etc.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO PLAY A VIDEO OR PUT UP A SLIDE? Follow the order of service that is types out and printed next to the computer. Also, be listening to the teacher’s instructions to prompt you when to play vides/click slides.

SPOTIFY

WHAT IS SPOTIFY? ‘Spotify’ is the program that we use to run background music in the Life Kids Room.

HOW DO I USE IT? It can be accessed on the Mac Computer in the tech booth and can be used by simply pushing the Play/Pause button. Please play ONLY the ‘K-5 Mix’ Playlist. No other songs are allowed to be played while children are present.

WHEN DO I USE SPOTIFY DURING THE SERVICE? You will use Spotify during ‘Free Time’ before and after service. This is to allow for background noise and to create a welcoming environment.

MASTER FADER

WHAT IS MASTER FADER? ‘Master Fader’ is the program that we use to control the sound level in the classroom.

HOW DO I USE IT? It can be accessed on the iPad found in the tech booth. To make the sound level louder, raise the bar in the ‘MAIN’ column. To make the sound level quieter, lower the bar in the ‘MAIN’ column.

WHEN DO I USE MASTER FADER DURING THE SERVICE? You will use Master Fader on the iPad whenever you want to raise or lower the volume of videos or songs.

ROOM LIGHT DIMMERS/STAGE LIGHT SWITCHES

WHAT ARE THE ROOM LIGHT DIMMERS? The Room Light Dimmers control the lights around the entire room and can make lights bright, dark, or anywhere in-between. The Room Light Dimmers are the tan sliders on the bottom of the picture.

WHEN DO I DIM THE ROOM LIGHTS? Only during the Bible Story Video.

WHAT ARE STAGE LIGHT SWITCHES? The Stage Light Switches control the spotlights on the stage. They are the 4 white switches on the top of the picture.

WHEN DO I TURN THE STAGE LIGHTS OFF? During the Bible Story Video and occasionally when the Lead Teacher tells you to.

FIRST SUNDAYS

FIRST SUNDAYS

WHAT ARE FIRST SUNDAYS? ‘First Sundays' happen on the ‘First Sunday’ of each month as a service of review and celebration. During ‘First Sunday’, children will review what they have learned in the previous month and reward themselves by purchasing prizes in the Bible Bucks Store with their previously earned Bible Bucks.

WHAT IS MY ROLE DURING FIRST SUNDAY? During First Sunday, you get to go into the Bible Bucks Store and help be a ‘cashier’ and helping kids exchange Bible Bucks for prizes.
