Podcasts

A podcast is a feed that you can subscribe to. It allows your computer to automatically download MP3s of the messages from our weekend services as soon as they become available so you can listen to them on your computer or place them on your iPod or other MP3 playing device.

How do I do it? It's pretty simple:

  1. If you don't already have iTunes 4.9 or above, click this link to download iTunes and install it. iTunes is a free cross-platform (works on Windows and Mac OS) program that allows you to subscribe to podcast feeds.
  2. Once you have successfully installed iTunes, you want to subscribe to our podcast feed. You can do that by clicking on the padcast icon.
  3. A message may pop up indicating that you have to launch an external application (iTunes). Click the button that says "Launch Application." You can also check the box which will tell your computer to open iTunes for all links of this type.
  4. Once iTunes launches our podcast page, click the "Subscribe" button and iTunes will download our podcast right to your computer.
  5. Each week we will update the podcast with the new content. You will have access to that simply by right clicking on our podcast in your iTunes podcast list and choosing "Update Podcast."
  6. Additional help on podcasts can be found at Apple Tutorials
