What Is It?
YouTube is a website that allows you to find and enjoy the videos and music you love. Create and upload the content you create and share it with friends, family, and the world.
Why Use It?
YouTube is a free tool that lets you quickly find a song, sermon, or other video content to use at church or home. You can also upload videos of your church’s choir, dance ministry performances, and sermons to share your worship experience with the world.
Once you start using YouTube, you’ll find more and more uses for it, such as screening a documentary or watching a live service on the other side of the country.
