The Community Bible Church of La Carlota City Inc MULTIMEDIA MINISTRY was born during the 2019 COVID-19 pandemic, when face-to-face gatherings were prohibited, and lockdown and quarantine protocols were strictly enforced. It was a challenge to the church to keep ministering despite the limited interaction with people.
Social media sites were the primary platform for broadcasting live worship services, prayer meetings, and church concerts via the members' online tools, devices, and gadgets. It started as a one-man project, but due to the high demand in preparing these tools, a call to train interested youth has been initiated. From September to October 2020, six dedicated individuals took on the challenge of learning with weekly exposure to using these tools and eventually becoming proficient in preparing these tools today. More dedicated individuals were trained over the course of five days in July 2022 where other churches in the area joined in as well. The new recruits, had undergone their on-the-job training by being exposed to the multimedia functions with the months of September and November of 2022.
Last December 26, 2023, the ministry hosted a retreat and challenged OJT trainees to be an official part of the team at Campuestuhan Highland Resort. Nine of the new recruits appointed to join the Multimedia Team as full-fledged members. They went through a probationary period between January and June 2023, during which they were coached and assessed on their commitment. Last June 2023, the team welcomed 7 new formal members who also took on specialized duties in the ministry, while the other two are still members of the team, assisting with specific functions. The team has also officially welcomed members of the Jesus First publication that will launch on the later months of the year.
We thank the Lord for answering one of the team's goals and prayers this year 2023, as two complete sets of computers, together with a box to keep the equipment, were made possible by a church donation.
The team faced different obstacles that enabled them to press on and become more diligent in their commitment to serve the Lord. On August 11, 2023, the official Facebook page was compromised by a hacker as a result of system malware interruption. The team had to pause online live broadcasting until October 2023 and participate in cybersecurity and online safety trainings and seminars on June 24, 2023. To grow the ministry andas it continue topursue an opportunity to develop an online outreach program, the team offered Multimedia training every Saturday from September 23 to October 21, 2023.
As of date, the ministry is headed by Miss Lalaine Moralidad as the Ministry Head, with Miss Delight Joy Arroyo as the Graphics Design Officer, Miss Erika Liper as the Special Events and Feature Officer, Lioma Jean Arguilles as the Photo Officer, Miss Julie Ann Mondia for Jesus First Publication, Miss Roselle Juplo as a Content Creator and Miss Jicyll Capistrano as the Video Editor/Officer with Mr. Stephen John Apostol as the Tech Support.
