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
