Amplify Media Subscription Replaces Former EOC Media Center
The Connectional Ministries office connects East Ohio Conference pastors, congregations, and faith communities with resources to assist you in fulfilling our shared mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Resourcing requires adaptability, and we celebrate the adaptive creative ways churches have responded to the pandemic. Now more than ever before, many East Ohio Conference churches are livestreaming worship services and conducting small group studies online, embracing the possibilities offered by digital downloads and services like Zoom.
The Connectional Ministries team is pleased to offer a new resource to expand these adaptive possibilities. Beginning January 2023, churches of the East Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church can join Amplify Media to stream thousands of digital study, worship, and devotional videos, each with an emphasis on Wesleyan perspectives. A division of The United Methodist Publishing House, Amplify Media offers videos, podcasts, audio books, and other digital media that are searchable and can be accessed anytime, anywhere, from any device. Explore these resources at www.Amplifymedia.com.
Our partnership with Amplify Media replaces the former Media Center as a curriculum resource for EOC churches. I celebrate the faithful ministry of those who have served the Media Center so well and the resources the Center has made available to member pastors, congregations, and faith communities over the years. The Media Center was a for-fee service subsidized by apportionments from all Conference churches. With research in 2022 showing fewer than one in four churches using the DVD resources of the Media Center, I began the conversations with Amplify Media that led to this new partnership to be a good steward of our apportioned resources.
An Amplify Media basic membership costs $29.99/month and provides access for up to 100 members of a member church to access/download resources. For East Ohio Conference churches that join Amplify Media by March 30, 2023, by using the online coupon code EOCUMC there is a special rate during the first year of membership.
The first month will be free. Then, each succeeding month the church remains members of Amplify Media and the East Ohio Conference the Amplify membership will be discounted 50%! With these discounts, EOC churches will pay the equivalent of $15/month for the first year of Amplify Media membership. For this low rate you, member churches will have access to a great curriculum resource that can be reviewed and tested for an entire year at this very low entry rate. During this transition period, the East Ohio Conference will cover a portion of the cost for churches that join Amplify Media.
In the coming weeks we will announce plans for a “garage sale” during which items from the Media Center catalog will be made available to EOC clergy and laity for addition to their church library. If you have any questions, please e-mail Amy George in the Connectional Ministries office.
