Evangelical Abbey Church: Live streaming church services, privacy compliant and without detours

The Evangelical Abbey Church is an integral part of church life in its region. Services take place week after week. At the same time, the church faced a practical challenge shared by many congregations. How can church services be live streamed in a way that is technically reliable and suitable for long term operation.

The focus was on a clean and sustainable implementation. The live stream was intended to run directly on the church’s own website, privacy compliant, without advertising and without additional barriers. The goal was a solution that works with limited resources and can be operated without specialized technical knowledge.

Live streaming for churches on their own website

Today, the Abbey Church uses Ignite for a live streaming solution designed for integration into the church’s own website. The service is broadcast live from the church and played directly on the website. Without detours via external services.

Inside the church, a simple technical setup with multiple cameras and a sound system was installed. The signal is sent directly to Ignite, where it is processed and delivered in a privacy compliant manner.

Integrating the live stream into the church website is straightforward. The player is embedded directly and blends seamlessly into the existing website. For the congregation, this means no additional technical effort. Low maintenance requirements. And an approach to data protection that aligns with the church’s values.

It was important for us to have a partner who is accessible and understands our situation. We were able to test everything at our own pace, without pressure. The personal contact and support on equal footing made the difference for us.
