Church Audio Training
As a part of our family’s missionary itineration for Liverpool, Nathan will be leading a series of church audio engineer training classes. These trainings will be most beneficial for churches with volunteers who want to learn more about live sound and churches that want to grow their production teams.
On training day, Nathan will lead two sessions:
- Audio Engineering Basics (beginner), followed by
- Improving Your Sound (intermediate).
Register for either or both depending on your need and skill level. We suggest a donation of $25 or more to help support our ministry.
