Streaming Services for Churches
Never has there been a greater need to keep people safe, both physically and spiritually. Covid 19 has left no country, industry or individual unaffected.
Just when the church needed to be able to reach those in need, attending church services was forbidden and many clergy were left wondering how they could continue gods work.
In this hour of need technology provided some answers and churches took to broadcasting services using a variety of solutions and platforms.
Few if any of these platforms are ideal for church services and so we created Seccom Church Services.
