about 316 networks

Mission Statement 316 Networks’ mission is to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ known across the globe through the media technology strategies of the internet; to assist the local church and ministries to do the same using those tools; and to provide service and quality with excellence.

Statement of Faith We agree to this Statement of Faith: 1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible authoritative Word of God. 2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3. We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. 4. We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful men. 5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live the Godly life. 6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost - those who are saved to the resurrection of life, and those who are lost to the resurrection of condemnation. 7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ, and the evidence of that unity being shown by how we love one another.

Strategy Statement 316 Networks is the premier streaming media provider serving ministries with cutting-edge technology to reach a global audience with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We offer strategic solutions through Live Worldcast Streaming, Video On Demand, Video Email and Podcasting solutions.

partner resource center There are many companies out there that can do streaming – but we have set out to assist the local church and ministry to use that webcast for ministry. In order to do true outreach using our services, the audience must be engaged in the process. We have developed a toolbox of features to assist you in reaching back to your audience and drawing them into your virtual congregation in our Partner Resource Center.

Statistics: Network Stream Stats – Who’s watching you? How long are they watching? Your streaming video audience needs to be evaluated. We provide accurate stream statistics that allow you to see how many viewers watched your live broadcast. We break the statistics down by connection speed so that you can begin to see how you are watched – by broadband, DSL or dialup. Live Concurrent Stream Stats – This feature allows you to see how many individuals are watching during your live broadcast in real-time. Use this tool to evaluate audience behaviors which will allow you to tailor your worship services to meet their needs as well.

On Demand Daily Viewing Activity – Evaluate the success of your individual video programs that are available for On Demand use to see how often they are being viewed on a daily basis.

On Demand Monthly Viewing – Watch trends of your On Demand viewing audience from a global view using bar graphs. Establish the best time of day to monitor responses and prayer requests from your virtual congregation.

On Demand Monthly Count – This feature gives you a snapshot view of your audiences’ viewing habits of your On Demand programs.

This data is easily downloaded from the .CSV format and imported into your local system for follow up, partnership and ministry.

Viewer Response Archives – As your audience responds to your message, they will be encouraged to respond. The response tools we have available through the QuickFlash “Contact Us” call to action allows them to respond immediately through a form that requests their email address and response. These responses are logged here in this Viewer Response Archive – and also copied to a local email address you will have submitted. These responses are a great way to interact with your viewing audience.

Viewer Prayer Requests – Prayer Requests are also requested using the QuickFlash call to action – and the requests are tallied here in this feature. You are able to respond immediately if necessary to the request as the Prayer Requests are available in real-time.

Create/Edit Poll Feature – Evaluate the needs and responses of your viewing audience through the Poll Feature. You are able to create your own poll – using a question and multiple choices of three answers. The polls are available to your audience through the QuickFlash ad space and are in the rotation of ads there. Poll users respond and see the totals in real-time as soon as they submit their answer.

Poll Results – Polls are great – but their results are useful! Your poll results are available in this feature –giving you a great look at the needs of your virtual congregation.

VOD Data Transfer – The amount of bandwidth transferred is displayed in this feature giving you a picture of how much your VOD is being used.

VOD Storage – Individual files sizes are displayed here as well as the total amount of space you are using for storage.

Remove On Demand Content Utility – Storage of files is great – but clean up is a necessity. This utility will allow you to remove programs from availability in your Media Player and also remove them from the storage servers.
