A Message From Pastor Bob
My prayer for you, as you walk through the doors of Watts Bar Community Church, is that you walk into a building that is saturated with the presence of God! We understand that we are nothing without God and we understand just how vital His presence is. More than a new hit song, the quality of sound, or anything we can do; I want you to experience Jesus, because I have experienced Him.
We as a team have one goal, and that is to do whatever we can to get you into His presence in a corporate setting because we know that it is only in His presence that chains are broken, miracles happen, people are healed, and lives are changed!
You won't see a stage full of perfect people, but I can guarantee you this: You will see a stage full of people who know what it is like to experience the transformative power of God. You'll see former addicts, former alcoholics, former "religious" people, former atheists, abused, broken, messed up, jacked up people who have found the love of Jesus Christ and want to share that with you.

This culture is built through vibrant worship services, inclusive participation, and a focus on spiritual growth. Together, we can create a worshipful atmosphere that transforms hearts, strengthens faith, and brings us closer to God and each other. Join us in this journey of worship, where every moment becomes an opportunity to experience and reflect God's presence.
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness;

Why do we use technology in church?
In the dynamic landscape of the 21st century, technology has become an invaluable tool for the church to fulfill its mission and connect with communities in meaningful ways. From livestreaming services to social media outreach, technology enables us to transcend physical boundaries and reach people wherever they are. It facilitates communication, fosters community, and empowers ministries to engage with diverse audiences effectively.
Through innovative uses of technology, the church can enhance worship experiences, provide resources for spiritual growth, and extend its reach to new generations. Whether it's through online platforms, mobile apps, or virtual communities, technology opens doors for deeper engagement, discipleship, and evangelism.
Technology equips the church to adapt and respond to the ever-changing needs and challenges of society. It enables us to leverage digital tools for efficient administration, collaborative ministry, and impactful outreach initiatives.
In essence, embracing technology in the 21st century church isn't just about staying relevant—it's about maximizing our potential to fulfill the Great Commission and advance God's kingdom in a rapidly evolving world. By harnessing the power of technology, we can amplify our efforts to share the love of Christ, make disciples, and transform lives for the glory of God.

Screen
The screen operator in a church plays a crucial role in enhancing the worship experience by seamlessly managing visual presentations and multimedia displays. This behind-the-scenes expert ensures that song lyrics, scripture verses, sermon notes, and videos are perfectly timed and flawlessly projected, enabling the congregation to engage fully in the service. With a keen eye for detail and technical proficiency, the screen operator helps create a visually cohesive and immersive environment that supports the flow of worship and communication. Their work allows congregants to focus on the spiritual message, fostering a more connected and meaningful church experience.
Audio
The audio engineer in a church is essential for delivering a clear, impactful worship experience. By expertly managing sound systems, microphones, and audio equipment, the audio engineer ensures that every sermon, song, and prayer is heard with clarity and balance. Their technical skills and attention to detail create an optimal acoustic environment, enhancing the congregation's ability to engage with the service. Whether mixing live music, adjusting levels for speakers, or eliminating background noise, the audio engineer’s work is vital in making each service a seamless and spiritually enriching experience for all attendees.
Lights
The light operator in a church is pivotal in creating a visually captivating and spiritually uplifting atmosphere. By skillfully managing lighting equipment, they enhance the mood and focus of worship services, fostering a "distraction free" environment to worship in. Through their expertise, they ensure that the sanctuary is both welcoming and reverent, using light to guide the congregation’s attention to "The Light" and evoke a sense of awe. The light operator’s work transforms the worship space, adding depth and dimension to every service and event, making each moment more engaging and memorable for all attendees.
In a society where streaming services are a dime a dozen, "the church" is in direct competition with "the world". There is no reason why we can't utilize the number one tool in America for connection and we truly believe the church should do it better.
Producer
The live stream producer in a church is vital in extending the reach of worship services beyond the physical sanctuary. By managing the live streaming technology, they ensure that every sermon, song, and prayer is broadcast with high quality and reliability to viewers at home or around the world. Their role involves coordinating camera angles, direction, and visual content to create a seamless and engaging online worship experience. Through their expertise, the live stream producer makes it possible for remote congregants to participate fully in services, fostering a sense of community and spiritual connection regardless of distance.
Camera Operator
The camera operator plays a crucial role in capturing the essence of worship services and special events. By expertly handling camera equipment, they ensure that every moment—from sermons and worship to prayers and congregational activities—is visually documented with precision and clarity. Their keen eye for detail and ability to anticipate key moments allow them to create engaging and dynamic footage, enhancing both in-person and online worship experiences. The camera operator’s work brings the service to life for remote viewers, making it possible for everyone to feel connected and inspired, no matter where they are.
Photography
The photographer captures the heart and soul of worship services, events, and community activities through their lens. By skillfully taking photos of significant moments—from sermons and ceremonies to fellowship gatherings—they create a visual record that celebrates the church's vibrant life. Their work not only preserves memories but also tells the story of the congregation's faith journey, fostering a deeper sense of connection and belonging. The photographer's keen eye for meaningful details and their ability to capture the spirit of each moment make their contributions invaluable to the church community.
Videography and Editing
Video editors serving in a church play an essential role in bringing the congregation’s vision to life through compelling visual storytelling. By meticulously crafting and editing video content, they ensure that sermons, worship highlights, promotional videos, and special event recaps are polished and impactful. Their expertise in blending footage, audio, and visual effects creates engaging and inspiring videos that resonate with both in-person and online audiences. Through their creativity and technical skills, video editors help to communicate the church's message effectively, making every service and event memorable and accessible to a broader community.
Graphic Design
Graphic designers serving are pivotal in visually communicating the church’s message and mission. By creating eye-catching and meaningful designs for bulletins, sermon slides, event posters, social media, and more, they enhance the visual appeal and clarity of church communications. Their creativity and design skills help to engage the congregation and attract new members, making church materials more accessible and impactful. Graphic designers transform ideas and messages into visual masterpieces, ensuring that the church’s outreach is both beautiful and effective, fostering a stronger connection within the church community and beyond.
Web Design
Web designers are essential in creating an engaging and user-friendly online presence. By designing and maintaining the church's website, they ensure that information about services, events, ministries, and resources is easily accessible to both congregants and visitors. Their expertise in web design enhances the church's outreach, making it simple for people to connect, participate, and stay informed. Through their creative and technical skills, web designers help to build a welcoming digital gateway that reflects the church’s mission and values, fostering a sense of community and connection in the digital age.
Social Media Moderator
Social media moderators serving in a church play a crucial role in fostering a positive and engaging online community. By managing the church’s social media platforms, they ensure that discussions remain respectful, informative, and in line with the church’s values. Their responsibilities include responding to comments, facilitating discussions, and sharing relevant content that inspires and informs the congregation. Through their diligent efforts, social media moderators help to create a welcoming and supportive digital environment where members can connect, share, and grow in their faith, extending the church’s reach and impact in the online world.
The Arts
WBCC utilizes performing arts to encompass a rich tapestry of expression, blending music, dance, drama, and visual arts to share the gospel. Rooted in tradition and the vision of our co-founding pastor Connie Goins, yet ever-evolving, these performances serve as a conduit for spiritual reflection, storytelling, and communal participation. Through dramatic reenactments of biblical narratives we aim to bring scripture to life, fostering a deeper connection to faith or giving the opportunity for some to receive Christ for the first time. Dance and visual arts add dynamic and interpretive layers, allowing congregants to experience worship through diverse sensory experiences. Together, these art forms not only beautify and serve as one of the many tools God created to reach the lost but also provide a profound means of expressing and exploring faith for all those involved.
We create because God created first.
God is the creator of the heavens, earth, and everything we see around us. When God finished creating the world in Genesis, He declared that everything was good. Creation itself is the most incredible work of art ever created. Our Lord is the greatest artist.
Everything from the birds flying in the air, to the fish and creatures in the deep waters is creative to the sunset stretched across the horizon. You can travel around the world and see majestic sights that will leave you in awe.
God also created people in His image and likeness, and He has given people the inspiration to create wonderful works of art. God is the source of creativity.
