Create Change. . .
The goal of Dogwood Production is to create worship environments that lead people into an unforgettable encounter with God. Environments are created through the use of lighting, audio, IMAG, video, and graphics in conjunction with the flow of the service. Production elements infuse energy, visuals, and dynamic change into the service allowing people to experience God in new and exciting ways. It is our desire that as we create change people are pointed to an authentic relationship with Jesus.
Currently there are six facets of the production team...audio, video, lighting, propresenter, producing, and scenic.
