Creating immersive church experiences with digital storytelling
Let's embark on a virtual "road trip" with the creative team from First United Methodist Church Richardson in Texas. Joined by Creative Director Rohini Drake, Engagement Coordinator Mallory Pickering, and Technical Director Tyler Payne, the group shares insights from their summer worship series, "Road Trip," where they traveled to places of spiritual connection—like Hot Springs, Arkansas and the Scarritt Bennett Center in Nashville—capturing prayer moments, stories, and immersive worship content along the way. Together, they discuss the power of taking church outside its physical walls, forging new connections, and using digital storytelling to engage both local and online faith communities. Buckle up as we dive into inspirational stories, practical content creation tips, and the heart behind connecting congregations in fresh, meaningful ways.
Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:
How a multi-stop road trip became an immersive worship series called “Road Trip.”
The art of capturing unplanned, authentic faith moments—rain, gratitude toads, and all!
Creative techniques for sharing stories across online and in-person platforms.
Insights on breaking the walls of the church building and experiencing God’s presence wherever you are.
Tips on community engagement and keeping your congregation connected, even from afar.
