With the grand opening of their 55,000 square foot facility, Woodcreek Church in Richardson, Texas is delivering state-of-the-art communications to their 1,500 member and growing congregation. Partnering with Helius, a Hughes company, the leaders of Woodcreek Church deployed the Helius digital signage solution, MediaSignage, in conjunction with their new facility opening. Woodcreek Church members now receive live broadcasts of worship services at convenient locations within the facility and are able to maintain a feeling of being connected to one another through digital displays that show event schedules and other pertinent information in easily accessible areas.
"Helius has helped us better communicate with and meet the needs of our congregation," said Scott Winn, Outreach Pastor at Woodcreek Church. "We now are able to reach individuals with our worship services who would not have been able to participate otherwise. Members appreciate the event schedules and other advertisements that now are available in the atrium of our building." Woodcreek Church centrally manages numerous screens placed strategically throughout the facility. From a central web interface, they easily can update and change information, display different information on different screens, and even schedule the automatic update of information to individual screens. Members of the congregation are kept current regarding the latest events, church announcements, and worship broadcasts, leaving no one untouched by the messages and activities available. Planning for growth, Woodcreek Church sees the digital signage solution from Helius as helping them expand their reach to an ever-growing congregation through delivery of pre-recorded broadcasts and videos, as well as their current activities. "We are pleased that Woodcreek Church selected Helius for their digital communications needs," said Kevin Lawrence, senior vice president of Sales for Helius. "By embracing new technologies, they are able to better serve their congregation and communicate their message to a large and growing audience. We look forward to working with them as they expand their use of the Helius communications network."
