Host

Sample Schedule

Did you know...

You have flexibility when it comes to your schedule. You know your region better than we do and we trust our hosts to make the right decision for their group.

During the broadcast you can pause, start, and stop any of the content that has already happened. That means you can create a schedule that serves your region best.

Are you doing live worship? You can start your event with a message instead of the global worship. While you will absolutely want to see global worship, you can choose what this looks like for you.

Below are a few schedules hosts can consider utilizing and shifting for their gathering.
