About Muddy River Media

Muddy River Media is a registered, non-profit mission society which exists to consistently provide free, quality media resources for churches using the internet as the primary delivery tool.

We create and offer media such as:

  • Illustrative Videos
  • Small Group Videos and leader's guides
  • Motion Backgrounds
  • Life Story Videos
  • Countdown Timers
  • Stock Photographs and Illustrations

History and Philosphy
This ministry came out of the combination of our desire to use the creative gifts God has given us as well as our passion to help smaller churches have cutting edge, culturally relevant media they could not afford to purchase.

We live in a video age, and more and more churches are using modern media to get their message across. But what about the ones who can’t afford to spend $15 on a 90 second illustrative video… or $75 and more on small group video curriculum?

Good video takes a lot of time and expertise to create. We believe it is poor stewardship to spend those resources to create a video that will only be used once or twice. Why not offer it to literally thousands of churches world-wide so they can benefit from it? That is the concept behind Muddy River Media. We will also be encouraging other Churches and independent video producers to allow us to freely offer their media on this website to the benefit of other churches.

Financial
The reason we are able to provide these materials for free is because we are a mission organization that relies on donations and support from individuals, churches, organizations, businesses and foundations.

We have set a goal of $45,000 for each video missionary we add to our organization.

$40,000 – Salary
$5,000 – equipment expenses, supplies, software/hardware upgrades

This translates into $3,750/month for a fully supported missionary who will devote full time to creating free media for churches.

Staff
Currently we have one video missionary on staff, Mark Fogarty. Mark’s monthly support is currently at $2,100/month… $25,200 a year. We are looking to raise an additional $1,650/month to allow Mark to work full time for the long term. Once we have one full-time video missionary supported we hope to add another staff member, thus increasing the content we can offer.

  • We believe... in one God, creator and sustainer of the universe, Who is eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • We believe... in the Deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, His death to pay the penalty for our sins, His bodily resurrection, His exaltation at God's right hand, and His personal, imminent return.

  • We believe... that all have sinned and are therefore guilty before God and are under His condemnation.

  • We believe... that all who by faith receive Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, therefore children of God and eternally saved, and that the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer to enlighten, guide, and enable the believer in life, testimony, and service. We believe that God answers the prayers of His people and meets their needs according to His purpose.

  • We believe... in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in Glory and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost in hell.
