There are half a dozen conversation service formats that are pre-produced for an online audience. Watch this behind the scenes clip of Brett Eastman as he shares one of the most dynamic and engaging conversation service formats: the townhall production.Â
Online Service
“Townhall Production”
Pastors thrive on the energy and engagement of their audience, so weâve created a breakthrough format where a pastor teaches their message in a more conversational setting during a live video shoot! This format shifts from a monologue to a dialogue, from content delivery to an interactive conversation, and from preaching to participation. This unique approach brings out the best from pastors and opens up dynamic engagement with their members. Clearly, this is our most popular format because of the heartfelt sharing and the hilarious interaction with the pastor. Your church and people all over the world will love this dynamic church service.Â

Worship Experience
In The Round
Create a worship experience that helps people participate from their living room or microsite.
Producing off-campus worship videos for local churches.
First we changed small groups by bringing the teaching pastor into a living room with video. Then we changed groups with our Town Hall strategy that replaces a âtalking headâ approach with an informal, interactive dialogue between the pastor and the people. Now weâre revolutionizing groups with the addition of worship.
As part of our video production, our team can coach, direct, and produce a complete worship set with the people, instruments, and setting of your choice, and package it as a full worship experience your groups can use to draw closer to God and to each other. Some groups will use the songs on DVD to open with worship, others will use it to close their time together, and some churches are even using the complete package to start house churches and launch new campuses!

CONVERSATION SERVICEÂ FORMATS
Traditional Townhall
SEE MORE
By far, this is one of our most popular online weekend service productions. Pastors and their people clearly understand the unique value of the townhall format. This production format is strategically designed for online viewers to feel like they are an active participant in the townhall gathering.Â
Live Interview Format
SEE MORE
The live interview allows the pastor to fully integrate a testimony that is seamless and far more engaging than ever before. Pre-producing the live interviews helps to navigate the time and transitions of the interview, which is guaranteed to create more emotion, interaction, and participation of the viewing audience.
Townhall with a Panel
SEE MORE
This format is similar to the traditional townhall production, but integrates a panel of teachers or contributors to help deliver the sermon content. A team teaching format meets the larger townhall setting. This is a perfect way to engage more staff, leaders, ethnicities, genders, and all life stages at the same time.
Roundtable Conversation
SEE MORE
This format emulates the kind of interaction that people have in their everyday life at work, with their family, and with their friends. It stages the opportunity for teaching in a more conversational format that is fully integrated throughout the entire service. This roundtable could also be placed in the middle of a short teaching segment.Â
Teaching Panel Format
SEE MORE
This format is both popular and familiar, but we have added some unique additional spins to this traditional teaching panel model. After pre-producing the teaching panel, we have cut-aways to a single teacher to set up or finish the conversation with the live panel. Again, the production is developed so the online viewer feels like they are sitting at the dining room table.Â
Teaching and Testimony
SEE MORE
This format is developed from the very beginning to find and develop stories that best illustrate all of the points in the sermon. By pre-producing the testimonies, your pastor can teach before, during, and after each of the stories creating a more dynamic and engaging service. We ensure that we will have plenty of content by producing over the course of a day several dozen testimonies and producing them in a medley format.
Each Series can have a Companion Curriculum
with any of Your Conversation Series.

Case Study
The Church at Rock Creek
Online Conversation Service
After partnering with the team at Rock Creek for a year, producing numerous video curriculum, church-wide campaigns, and even publishing several books, we engaged in a one year journey producing their online conversation services. Sometimes we will produce the conversation service week by week or month by month, but in this case we repurposed some of the most several sermon series in Mark Evansâ preaching library. Each month we hosted a production where we would capture four to eight conversation services, and executed the post production for all their services. In addition, we hosted three different shoots where we captured twenty different worship songs that we mixed and matched with sermon sets for each of their conversation services. While we produced all of these services uniquely targeting the online digital audiences, we were able to use numerous elements throughout the year for the existing weekend services as well.
