Case Study: First Baptist Church of Opelika achieves reliable multi-service streaming with BoxCast

First Baptist Church of Opelika streams 9 weekly services and reaches 5,500 viewers with BoxCast

First Baptist Church of Opelika, a large multi-generational church with a weekly attendance of 4,000, faced unreliable live streaming from their previous provider, particularly during the increased demand of the Covid-19 pandemic. This challenge was critical as they needed to support nine concurrent Sunday services in three different languages for thousands of online viewers. They turned to the vendor BoxCast for a more reliable streaming solution.

By implementing BoxCast's streaming platform, OTT apps, and Multi-Site Player, the church automated their broadcasts and consolidated their viewer experience into one location. The solution provided the reliability needed to support their complex, multi-venue operation. As a result, First Baptist Church of Opelika now seamlessly streams to approximately 5,500 weekly online viewers and 70,000 annual online viewers, ensuring their congregation stays connected. BoxCast helped the church's media team of staff and volunteers ensure everything runs smoothly and focus on ministry instead of managing technology.
