\u201cThe \u2018BCC Online\u2019 concept, developed as a result of the corona virus pandemic, has been a valuable springboard for current technology. It has given us new ways to gather for edification,\u02ee says Johannes Schmechel, leader of the foundation.<\/p>\n

He started in April and now leads about 50 employees who met last week for creative brainstorming and strategic planning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of the workshop is to conceptualize plans for 2021 – our visions and the bigger picture. Based on this preparatory work, a budget will be presented to the assembly of representatives in December. The media foundation is responsible for TV production and media content at BCC\u2019s events, currently streaming online because of the corona virus pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an interesting challenge, because in our current pandemic situation, we don\u2019t know how the world will look next year. But we\u2019re planning for the whole spectrum and will be flexible when the time comes to meet again for conferences and bigger events,\u201d says Schmechel.<\/p>\n

From a branch of BCC to its own Media Foundation<\/h3>\n

In July, the assembly of representatives gave BCC\u2019s Board legal authorization to separate the media branch from the parent organization to form its own organization. The Media Foundation was established, and on August 19th<\/sup>, BCC\u2019s Board adopted the new foundation as a formal member of the BCC association.<\/p>\n

In July, the assembly of representatives gave BCC\u2019s Board authority to separate the media division into its own organization. The media foundation was established, and on August 19th<\/sup>, BCC\u2019s Board adopted the new foundation as a formal member of the BCC federation.<\/p>\n

Historically, BCC Media includes BrunstadTV, the mission website ActiveChristianity, and the new online productions, which escalated after the corona virus pandemic cause a global change this spring. Now the work is divided into different departments which produce and publish content for various platforms and target audiences, including children, young people and adults.<\/p>\n

Media company with a young, energetic ambience<\/h3>\n

Young people interested in media have always been attracted to and employed by BCC\u2019s TV-branch. Every fall, a new group is employed as part of their participation in the international youth program A-team.<\/p>\n

For many years, BCC has also been a training site for students in media and graphic arts education programs. Last week, two new apprentices passed their exams.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need young and talented employees, especially when trying to create new concepts meant for children and young people. Last week\u2019s new employee training was thorough. Experienced staff held courses and actively shared their professional knowledge,\u201d reports Johannes Schmechel.<\/p>\n

He says that they are looking forward to building the team\u2019s competency while further developing a dynamic publishing house for the Christian message.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many creative employees here who live and breathe for our interesting profession and the Christian messages we are trying to convey. With so many enthusiastic people at work, I have nothing but faith in the future and the possibilities ahead. We are ready for the fall now and the exciting phase ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
