MONROE – For the past year and a half the women of First Baptist Monroe have been working to promote something in their church they felt was seriously lacking– connection.

The Women’s Missions Ministry began in mid 2008, thanks to Sandy Miller, coordinator.

In January 2008 Sandy Miller and her husband Pastor Alan had been at FBC for a little over a year and a half.  It was then, she said, that God gave her a vision for a women’s ministry.

SHREVEPORT – Luke Lee began making short films in high school as a fun, on the side hobby.  He said he never planned on making it a career.

Lee works full time as Media Associate, overseeing the video portion of the media ministry, at Brookwood Baptist Church in Shreveport.  However, the 22-year-old filmmaker started producing videos for the church long before he was listed on the payroll.

    SHREVEPORT – Brookwood Baptist Church in Shreveport is making massive changes in order to further advance their ministry to the people inside and outside of the church.

With the extreme growth Brookwood experienced over the last few years, the church decided that their current facilities were no longer equipped to handle the changing needs.

Once Brookwood assessed these new needs, they created a plan to modify the available spaces, creating the project “Renovate.”

SHREVEPORT – For the Media Ministry at Brookwood Baptist Church in Shreveport, videos and short films are a large part of the future. Luke Lee, media associate in charge of video, said it has been a long road to get where the ministry is today.

The video ministry is becoming more of a necessity as time passes, Lee said.  

As the worship experience becomes tighter in time, and people’s attention becomes harder to keep, video becomes vital.
