AC Central - We understand there have been issues in the past couple of weeks with listening to live services through AC Central or the Roanoke Church website.  The streaming service will show us Offline when we actually are streaming from the church.  This is not isolated to the Roanoke church.  When this happens, every single church in the AC Central dropdown list is shown as offline.  We apologize for the inconvenience and frustrations this has caused and we thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this issue. We have started to make some changes and have changed over to a – hopefully – more reliable streaming server.  Please bear in mind that this is not expected to fix all streaming problems. There are multiple parts to this offline issue and this fixes one of them. We are still working with the AC Central team on the others and will continue to make changes per their recommendations. If you still experience issues, please let Bros. Matt Leman or Byron Gerber know so that the issues can be documented and sent back to AC Central for their troubleshooting purposes.
