Digital Youth Camp Provides Lessons in Media
Story by Chesapeake Conference Staff
Recently, the Chesapeake Conference Communication Department, in partnership with the Chesapeake Youth Department, hosted an online Digital Youth Camp for young people. The one-hour digital training sessions, held via Zoom, equipped attendees with media skills to become more effective in reaching people in their communities through the use of technology.
“If you have the right tools, and you have the right motivation, you can create many things,” says Jason Frias, freelance audio engineer, who presented on pod-casting. “Podcasts are a great way to get your church’s message to new audiences.
”Trent Truman, a freelance graphic designer, taught the group how to create posters and signs for ministry events. “Graphic design is using words and images to create something that will communicate a message to an audience,” says Truman. “I want to challenge you to utilize your talents for God as you begin to serve the church.”
Jacklyn Ruth, communication specialist for the Chesapeake Conference, gave tips on reaching church members and the community through social media. “Your church needs your help. Whether you know it or not, your creativity is needed to help move the church forward in social media ministry. Make sure you know who your audience is, that is, the people you are speaking to, so your social media influence can be the most effective,” says Ruth.
“Chesapeake is blessed with so many young people that are bright and talented,” says Andre Hastick, com-munication director for the Chesapeake Conference. “I firmly believe that if we equip our youth to use their strengths in technology for ministry and outreach, we will see our mission advance like never before.”
