Temple Terrace United Methodist Church

LOCATION

Temple Terrace, Florida

CHALLENGE

Revitalize TTUMC's worship and music programs

SOLUTION

Along with participating as the electric guitarist for the worship team, Alan Barry Bush took a multi-phase approach to improve TTUMC's worship production. Alan began with evaluating the church’s existing audio and lighting systems, identifying areas for improvement. During this phase, he collaborated with church leadership to discuss how enhanced worship production could help retain and grow its congregation. He oversaw the installation of a new audio and lighting system, ensuring it met the needs of both contemporary and traditional worship services. Production workflows were streamlined to improve efficiency and consistency during services. He worked directly with volunteer and staff teams, providing hands-on training in mixing console operation, broadcast mixing, camera operation, video switching, microphone technique, computer graphics, social media engagement, lighting design, and other techniques to elevate the worship experience. The improved production systems were rolled out during worship services, monitoring performance and gathering feedback from leadership and congregation members. Technical issues were addressed as they arose, ensuring seamless transitions with the new workflows. He has advocated for prioritizing worship production as a means of improving engagement and retaining members. While budget constraints presented challenges, Alan emphasized the long-term value of professional-grade production while being resourceful and fostering church growth.
