Cumberland Baptist Institute and West Somerset Baptist Church

I have been doing work with Cumberland Baptist Institute for a while. One of their dreams was to offer online classes. The push for online classes has been quite great with the onset of COVID-19.

Their staff came up with a tier system for the online classes. Tier 1 would be on-site, tier 2 would be real time distance (using video conferencing), and tier 3 would be self-paced online learning. We were able to make all 3 happen and save them a bit of money on existing services as well. Here’s the breakdown.

Each classroom needed to be equipped with a TV, computer, and microphone to leverage the video conferencing option. We were able to accomplish this by purchasing 55″ TV’s, Chromebooks, and Samson GoMics that would connect to the Chromebook. The setup is extremely budget friendly with the final total being less than $2,500 to equip every classroom with the proper equipment.

We were able to save them $1,800 by combining their online eLearning hosting, web forms, and website into one package.

West Somerset

I worked with West Somerset over the last few months to engineer a streaming solution. Were able to accomplish a streaming setup using their existing computer and a few items we purchased from our online vendors. The entire setup was less than $800, which included a camera, tripod, capture device, and USB 3.0 PCI-e card.

First Landmark Missionary Baptist Church, Rock Island Illinois

We were contacted on May 1st, 2020 to do some website work on First Landmark Missionary Baptist Church in Rock Island, Illinois.

Brother James Candler had already setup the domain and the hosting but he needed some assistance tweaking the layout of the website as well as getting it published.

We worked with Brother James until the website was completed to their satisfaction. Brother James wanted to fill in the information himself so we mainly designed the layout and menu structure.

On March 23, 2020 we were contacted by the Pastor of Unity Baptist Church, James Conn. He was wanting us to setup a website for their church. They already had their domain name but not hosting.

We helped them find a hosting provider and then ported the domain name to use the DNS of the hosting provider. From there we were able to install WordPress and get started designing a website. They had everything ready to go in terms of getting the website setup. They provided us access to logos in their Google Drive as well as provided the information for each page.

We worked on the page until the final designs and pages were completed to their satisfaction. The website was then handed off to Unity for them to maintain. We provided some on site training on how to manage the website. We are available to support the website if they ever need help.
