Notes
A little bit about Mosaic:
- Pre-COVID – 354 kids babies thru 5th grade (about a 50/50 split from preschool to elementary)
- Large space for elementary
- Preschool split up into 8 rooms
What pivots were made as you moved to YouTube?
- Lead Pastor led the charge in reaching families through online content
- Used Orange curriculum, but modify the hosting portions, intros, and outros
- Created studio with unused space
- Elementary vids average 30 minutes; preschool average 15 minutes in length
- Utilizing small group leaders and production teams to film and produce
- Prompted parents with discussion questions at the end of videos
- Midweek re-releases on YouTube of the Orange videos
- Midweek releases of weekly videos (Ex: hotdog races), but prompting kids/parents to engage with the videos by answering questions
Tips and Tricks for engaging volunteers and promoting YouTube content:
- Utilizing large group volunteers to edit scripts, staff reviews, then schedule filming
- Leverage videographer professional to record, but use whatever talent you have
- Cross-posting on church YouTube channel with Kids content (prompt to subscribe whenever possible)
- Make the content relevant to today and tomorrow
- Use this as a platform to promote other social links
- Learned NOT to engage kids through the comments
- Mostly kids watching without parents
- Take calculated risks; try new stuff
