Start Here
This page is the simplest path into the production team. It pulls the most important next steps into one place, so you do not need to sort through the whole training site before your first serve day.
Your First Steps
If you are brand new, do these in order. This will cover the practical pieces without dumping every advanced guide on you at once.
Start with Planning Center
Download the Planning Center Services app, turn on notifications, and enter blockout dates as soon as you know them.
Open ResourcesLearn the Big Picture
Read through the Production Team Foundations and Expectations so you understand how we serve the room and support the message.
Open TrainingChoose a Role to Start In
Most new volunteers will focus on one role first. Camera, graphics, and stage are common starting points depending on interest and need.
View RolesWhat to Expect on Your First Serve Day
- Arrive at your role-specific call time and plan to stay for all services that day.
- Check in on the iPad in the Green Room for every service you are serving.
- Wear dark clothing, long pants, and comfortable closed-toe shoes unless you were told otherwise.
- Expect a talk-through, run-through, team prayer, and then the live services.
- Ask questions during rehearsal or before live moments, not in the middle of service execution.
Best Mindset to Bring
Come ready to learn, listen, and support the team instead of trying to master everything in one weekend.
We care about excellence, but we do not expect a new volunteer to know every workflow on day one.
Ask questions early, receive feedback well, and focus on serving the room without becoming a distraction.
Where to Go Next
Once you are through the basics, use the deeper parts of the site as needed instead of trying to read everything up front.
