GREAT PLAINS UNITED METHODISTS
GREAT CHURCHES. GREAT LEADERS. GREAT DISCIPLES. TRANSFORMED WORLD.
The calling of the Great Plains Conference is to equip and connect congregations to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
Live streaming isn’t just shooting a video and posting it for view at a later date. It’s live and alive! Your congregation viewers are seeing what the people at the service are seeing, and share the experience and connection at the same time, that is the reason we created greatplainsumc.church, a portal to unify every United Methodist congregation in one portal.
Without a doubt, there are many benefits to using video live streaming services to broadcast your worship services or event. Video live streaming can be effective and impactful in a wide variety of contexts, including seminars, fundraising, live announcements, online classes, church services; any type of broadcasting you put your mind into — is now in your hands to reach out to your community and across.
When you livestream your service or event, everyone can participate and donate online — your neighbors and your new comers, your travelers and your third-shifters, your homebound and your hospitalbound, your members around the conference and beyond.
Live streaming your service or event brings specific focus to Christ-centered excellence in youth ministry, preaching and worship, engaging our communities and transforming service to transform the world.
Broadcasting a religious service or event offers many benefits for churches like yours. When you live stream, you have the ability to:
- Reach members during emergency pandemics like COVID-19, which we’re currently experiencing.
- Allow members who are sick or injured, too old to make it in person, or have a disability that makes it difficult to travel to watch your service.
- Live streams help members who are traveling and want to continue to participate in their own faith community.
- Extend your reach beyond your local community and help people to connect with one another.
- Create a live stream of your sermon or broadcast a private, password protected, event for members of your congregation who cannot attend.
We understand how flexible ministry needs to be these days, that is why we don’t require any contracts or long term commitments, unlike other live streaming providers. Once you start live streaming in greatplainsumc.church, we know you won’t want to stop, but in case you do need to, you can cancel at any time!
What a better way for — Great churches, Great leaders, and Great disciples, to Transform the world!

“Make an impact for Christ online”
Live streaming isn’t just shooting a video and posting it for view at a later date. It’s live. It’s happening right then. The viewers are seeing what the people at the service are seeing, at the same time.
For those who are unable to be at the service in person, they can still participate and feel a part of their church community. Those who are homebound or in the hospital can continue to participate and people who are traveling for work or vacation can still be connected to their church and community.
