Headed out today to Boston for a leadership conference with 20 members of our team! Leaving at 4:30 am…Ouch! This will be a little painful for our team as Monday is typically a holy hangover. We will have a blast and make some great new memories as road trips are the best!
Looking forward to seeing our friends Ed and Lisa Young! Hoping to score some interviews with some of Fellowship Church’s staff for upcoming Cremeans Couch episodes.
I mentioned last week that we would share some of our media stuff. This one is one of the most requested videos from our “Heroes” series and it was actually produced by my 15 year old son, Devin Cremeans. David Bookhout, our Media Pastor, has mentored him and Devin is soaring! So again Pastors and business leaders….remember every presentation is better with media. And no matter what your size …your church or your business can get started with just a MAC, a Camera, and Final Cut Pro software. The rest is all about hunger and desire. It’s our desire in media to be THE BEST within five years.
I pray you can use this for your series and make it your own. We are also listing links that have been extremely helpful to us. Our Media Pastor informs me that if he had just the links listed on this blog, it would have saved him 2 years on a learning curve!
Next week on CC we will talk about going HD! Have a great week! Tomorrow I’ll be showing a video blog from our Boston trip…(making sure someone brings Beano!).

Buddy,
Thanks so much for the link to my site. I met you a few years ago at C3 when I was a volunteer video director at Fellowship.
Say “hi” to your media pastor for me, too!
- Anthony
Thanks for sharing the resources… would it be possible to get the Heroes files as Zipped or compressed formats for downloading?
Thanks for the challenge. Links are always good. I love how through blogging the CHURCH is sharing information and helping each other to reach their full potential for God’s Glory.
May I encourage you to post the video of your walk in the junkyard. It would make a great offering video.
Hi Buddy,
Thanks so much for the free resources. I intend to utilize them! Our church just launched a few weeks ago. Resources & information like this are HUGE to church planter’s like me! Thanks a bunch!
Mike
Anthony, I remember you well! Love your passion for media in the church! Keep it up man! Looking forward to your new site….we need a new look ourselves. If you are ever in upstate New York…..we would be honored to have you as our guest! Dave Bookhout says your the best!
Jonathan- It’s our pleasure, and we will be sharing more. As for your question…Dude, I don’t have a clue. But I’ll find out for you, and we will get it to you either way. Let us know how your series goes.
Marshall, What a cool name! Thanks for the encouragement. We are going thru our stuff and trying to figure out what churches could use and what is good enough. Didn’t think anyone would be interested in our vignettes ….we will get this to you.
Jeremy, you got it. Love your blog
Mike- I’m pumped to hear you started a church! My bro has great things to say about you, and you couldn’t find a better leader in the country than that dude! John Cremeans is the most authentic Pastor I know.
Keep up the great work and let us know how your series goes
Thanks Buddy,
Your brother John is a class act! I can’t wait to hang out with him more. He’s been a great encouragment to me!
Mike
Buddy,
Think back to 81` Yes, back to good old WCCS. Singing in the lockeroom and you as my wedding singer are my last contacts with you. I would love to hear from you if you still have the time. I`ve talked with John from time to time but would love to catch up with you. You now have my e-mail, drop me a responce, PLEASE!!!
Big Daddy Paul
