316 Networks leads the industry in providing rich media resources to churches and ministries across the country, equipping them to share their God-given message to an otherwise unreachable audience. We believe in the power of the gospel, and we believe in innovation. Based on our proprietary Internet Video Platform and other rich media solutions, 316 Networks equips pastors, churches, ministries and other organizations with the resources to deliver effective teaching, training, inspiration, and promotion to local, regional, and global audiences.
Let us share the successful stories of how 316 Networks’ suite of products is equipping leaders to change the world and discuss how we can help you do the same.
The Lead Like Jesus organization, led by Ken Blanchard, is using 316 Networks’ Worldcast to fulfill their vision of reaching 6.8 billion souls. During their “Leading in Uncertain Times” event, LLJ registered almost 2400 online attendees which provided an opportunity to teach leadership training with a Christian worldview. Through their live regional conferences and webinars, LLJ acquires names from their viewership in order to build their support and donor base allowing them to expand their ministry. Additionally, these events have led to a strategy of a subscription-based video leadership training platform.
Pastor Kenny Qualls of First Baptist Church in Arnold, MO, connects with his membership through weekly emails. Pastor Qualls sends two to three minute video emails to over 3,000 addresses to encourage and inspire his church members, walking them through their spiritual journey. As a result, his audience is growing numerically and spiritually.
Called “Empowered,” Dr. Jeff Ginn distributes a video devotional email each week to a growing list of over 1000 pastors and lay leadership he influences throughout the state of Virginia. These video vignettes are accompanied by promotional banners for events sponsored by the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia and regularly boost response and participation at these events.
Equipping domestic missionaries and churches nationwide, the North American Mission Board delivers video via 316 Networks to a variety of audiences. Rather than distributing thousands of DVDs nationally, the North American Mission Board equips their missionaries and churches by making their videos downloadable to promote opportunities for giving and to share the accomplishments of NAMB and their affiliated missionaries. These resources help NAMB raise nearly $70 million each year for missionary efforts.
Lee University is home to a large contingent of international students. In May 2009, Lee broadcast their commencement ceremonies online for the first time through 316 Networks from their Cleveland, TN campus. As a result, a family in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was able to watch their daughter graduate as it happened over 7500 miles away.
For some time, Christ Fellowship of Palm Beach Gardens had a consistent weekly online audience of 600-800 “attendees.” Today, through their inspirational messages and 316Networks ministry communication solutions, their weekly audience has grown to 20,000 online viewers. Many of these viewers are from other countries such as England, France and Iraq.
Pastor Jack Graham at Prestonwood Baptist Church partnered with 316 Networks in 2005 to share his live services, provide video on demand, and podcast his weekly sermons. Today Prestonwood utilizes 316 Networks high-definition live streaming solution to broadcast his weekly messages to the over 1,700 church attendees at their new North Campus.
Equipping believers does not just start and stop with local church leadership. To avoid the cost of satellite delivery, Dave Ramsey’s syndicated event “Town Hall for Hope” was delivered through our Internet Video Platform to high-resolution screens at 6,800 host sites to the largest audience ever for a live event distributed over the Internet…over 1.4 million people.
