MxU Live September 14-15 Passion City Church | Atlanta, GA

515 Garson Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324  Maps Google Maps

The church production & worship event designed to help your audio, video, lighting, and worship teams feel like they really are a team.

Your Team Can Thrive

Do you know for a fact that your church's audio, video, lighting, and worship team members feel valued? Do you have enough time to pour into your team? Do the different teams at your church operate on the same wavelength and work together to build a cohesive experience? Do you know enough about your role to operate your equipment and gear well?

At MxU Live ’23, between our all-hands-on-deck Main Sessions with worship and teaching, plus your chosen Deep Dive Sessions, you’ll learn from industry and event professionals on:

  • Furthering your craft
  • Building a healthy team
  • Doing the most with the least
  • Finding success across multiple teams

At MxU, it’s not about your budget, how many people serve alongside you, what gear you own, or your church attendance size. It’s about leading and building healthy teams.

The Non-conference Conference

At MxU Live, you'll find we do things differently than the typical church conference you've attended before.

No more one-off breakout sessions with a person on a stool blabbering for 2 hours.

You’ll get real, practical teaching in your specific area of ministry. You’ll be a part of the experience as trusted church industry professionals set up a service from beginning to end within your chosen Deep Dive. You’ll also gain an appreciation for what those in other areas of ministry do to contribute to the mission.

Every gathering—from the Main Sessions to the Deep Dives—will build off of each other as we create a cohesive service together between audio, video, lighting, and worship.

Deep Dive With Us

This year, we dig into the details. The “breakouts” are the main event—world-class experts dive into every aspect of your craft.
This year in our Deep Dives, grow with us as we explore building a service from beginning to end. We’ll cover everything from basic to advanced concepts within a given discipline, including working with small and large budgets, how to approach a discipline from the basics to the advanced, and the “why” behind how you operate within the roles at your church.

Day One

Deep Dive One

  • Designing for your room

    DD1

    No two spaces are the same. Learn how to adapt lighting to enhance any room.

  • Capturing shots that matter

    DD2

    The where and why of your video setup: from camera placement and the most important tools—dive into the technical “how” to support what’s happening on your stage with video.

  • Beyond the headset

    DD3

    How to confidently collaborate, build trust, and have the conversations needed with senior leadership and across teams in your church.

Deep Dive Two

  • From chaos to clarity

    DD4

    Building an audio show file to improve the volunteer process and ensure consistent experiences.

  • Before the set

    DD5

    80% of the work happens before down-beat. We dig into set-building practices, leading strong rehearsals, and facilitating better team communication.

  • The volunteer effect

    DD6

    How you can find, train, and keep volunteers who make a difference.

Day Two

Deep Dive Three

  • The art of mixing

  • During the set

    DD8

    How to lead, engage, and stay in the moment during service for your team and congregation.

    People don't grow a ministry. Ministry should grow people. Learn the practical steps to implementing a leadership pipeline in your ministry.

    DD10

    How to use lighting to create a powerful and meaningful service that supports the mission of your church.

  • Switcher storytelling

    DD11

    Learn to be in the moment when switching, how to backup what is being said/sang from stage, and how to creatively solve problems with clever cuts and transitions live.

We Love Gear

We're breaking down your budget barrier at MxU Live '23.

No matter the size of your church or budget, see how to pull it off with the gear that meets your team’s needs.

With the help of our partners, we’re covering the gamut this year—from their flagship models to the most affordable options, you’ll see and hear all they have to offer so you can make the wisest choices for your ministry needs. Whether it’s gear, software, services, or anything else, MxU partners make it possible for our churches to do what we do each Sunday.

We can’t wait for you to meet them.

No Partners, No Gear

FAQ

MxU Live is all about building your team around a common goal and removing obstacles between disciplines. For a small church, understanding how to develop a culture of ownership enables execution with a smaller volunteer base.

Yes, the nature of MxU Live has always led to a unique experience year-over-year, but this year we’ve gone even further. With the addition of Deep Dives between our main sessions, we’ve taken what everyone loves about MxU live and augmented it by getting into the weeds. MxU Live 2023 is a brand-new event.
