I strongly recommend that you get the most out of this powerful CMS (Content Managed System) and take this user-friendly course to learn Joomla.
Calvary Chapel Downey has set the bar
YourHost.com has been working with Jason Klein of Calvary Chapel Downey and his technical media team for the past year. It seems like in 209-2011, churches and other organizations are gearing up for the next round of “How do we get the Word out in a better way?”.
The team was first challenged by web design and the website became too much for one person to handle so they had decide if they would go for WordPress, a content service, or keep going with straight web design. They emerged with a completely customized WordPress system. This design was not without it’s challenges and troubles, but in the end, it looks like they have crossed the Chasm into a great manageable website. It is still a work in progress.
YourHost.com supports and hosts WordPress and Joomla, the clear choices when it comes to Content Managed Systems (CMS). There are many ways you can setup a WordPress and there are lots of organizations that make it the design look easy, but good solid scalable WordPress.

Calvary Flager Florida is ready to go & YourHost.com has the solution
Pastor Mark Convoy of the emerging Calvary Chapel of Flager, Florida, has been wanting to go live with audio and/or video streaming for quite some time, and his long time pastoral friend, Peyton Jones of New Breed church planting organization suggested he get with YourHost.com, a New Breed supporter.
So on a limited budget and using classic New Breed style, YourHost.com consulted Pastor Mark and put together an Adobe-Flash Driven streaming computer, camera package, along with YourHost.com affordable streaming services starting at only $50/mo. Almost every church can afford that so it was a no-brainier.
Note – YourHost.com can configure the Mac packages for you.
YourHost.com understands the Church challenges in lack of dedicated technical staff or volunteers, creating potential delayed boardroom decisions to stream or not to stream, which keeps a church from taking that first most important step into Live streaming and archiving.
YourHost.com removes that “decision pain “, providing an affordable Turnkey Streaming solution. This package allows the new church to start streaming Live within 15 minutes of opening the tested package YourHost.com sends them. YourHost.com can be the extension of that missing Technology.
Using a specially configured Dell computer and select compatible video cards (Osprey), camera, and assorted items, YourHost.com we will order, configure software, add the Adobe Flash Live media encoder, setup YourHost.com $50/mo. stream accounts, email you player embed codes, and more, before it ships to your church, along with some basic support cables, camera wall mount, and a Cannon Hi definition camera.
One thing you want to remember is to Keep it basic despite the tech chatter within the church that want to start out with all the high end equipment. when starting out, you DO NOT need HD H264, and a high end camera with all the expensive tools to get started. Church planting is about being frugal with your dollars and choices and keeping your costs down and expand when your ready.
We look forward to seeing Calvary Chapel Flager to be be pleasantly surprised at the quality of stream giving them the ability to “Get the Word Out” , all for under $1,500. and a basic Stream package of $50/mo, which will get them 2 Sunday Services and a few weekdays for bible studies and events.
(Note – hardware compatibility is the key difference why you should get your recommended and tested streaming hardware from YourHost.com.)
Do you have a MacBook Pro or Mac Deskop? We can get you up and running for around $800-1,000.
YourHost.com looks forward to getting more churches online.
