We asked: How do you handle your pastor's recorded sermons?

At RiverTree Christian Church we have a bookstore and a library located near our church's welcome center area. In the welcome center, church attendees may pick up a complimentary copy of the day's sermon on CD (and any other CDs in the current series or past month). All sermons are free to download and listen to from our church Web site as well.

In the bookstore, customers can order sermon CDs of past sermons for $2 each, which are available for pick-up the following week. In the library we catalog one copy of each sermon that is given at our church. These may be checked out (borrowed) for free for two weeks, along with the other 6,500 items in our library.

Our department produces the sets for the bookstore and online store sales. We have all of our series available for purchase online on CD, DVD or MP3. We have all of our series available on CD and DVD in our bookstores, too—we still sell several from years back.

We work with our design department on graphics and then our post-production department on masters for the CDs, DVDs, and they actually load the MP3 to the server. We have a lot of success with our sermon sets.
