PASTORS
“Jesse has exceeded expectations. Not only has he elevated our entire in-person and online worship experiences through video, sound, and lighting he was able to do so by using much of our own current equipment. Jesse’s ability to understand, plan, implement and train to the highest levels is impressive.”
— Gary Mariano | Pastor of The Gate Church
“Jesse is AMAZING ... he helped us set up and problem solve literally EVERYTHING on the production end of things! He has over two decades of experience in music and production and, as a worship pastor, he has a keen understanding for what churches are trying to accomplish in those areas. As a pastor, my knowledge base is somewhat limited so Jesse was a Godsend for us in that regard. He saved us countless hours and mistakes and everything he did was based on his passion for professionalism at an affordable cost. The longer I spoke with him the more impressed I was with the extent of his knowledge in technology, lighting, software, music, audio, live-streaming, visual presentation and more. In addition to those things he’s an exemplary Jesus-follower and he’s an all around awesome dude. Pleasure to work with and money well spent! Thanks Jesse!!“
— AJ Platt, DMin | Lead Pastor Gospel Church | Owner/Creator 116 Productions and PastorAJ.com
"We highly recommend Jesse to help with your church's audio/visual projects. Jesse completed a full digital conversion of our church's sound system and upgraded our stage lighting to LED fixtures. He helped recommend the best solutions, supplied all the parts & installation, and completed all decibel tuning & programming. This conversion process was seamless and was completed promptly, which did not interfere with regular church operations. Jesse is a one-stop-shop, highly intelligent, driven, and passionate for his craft and customer."
— Brent Beck | Youngstown Metro Church
“I would like to take a moment to share a well-deserved recommendation on behalf Jesse Fellows (now known as Slingshot Media Services), for the work he performed at my former church, New Covenant Church of the Nazarene in Youngstown, Ohio. Jesse is an amazing source of great knowledge and experience in the field of sound and lighting. He goes beyond just installing your equipment, he takes great care in making sure it is set-up properly for your particular needs. His costs were well below some of the higher end sound/lighting companies that we sought quotes from. He saved us a lot of money and in turn we received top quality service and support.”
— Jeff Gilkerson | Pastor for Grace Community Church of the Nazarene
“We hired Jesse Fellows to work at our church, Newton Falls First Christian Church. We were so pleased with his work that we would recommend his services to anyone we knew! We feel that Jesse went above and beyond his duties. Before he came we had so much trouble with our audio and video in the church and now we feel we have stepped up our entire game and church service with all of our new technology that Jesse installed. He even went into our basement and installed sound and video in the nursery for us. He consistently communicated everything with us and came back multiple times to check on our progress to ensure we were understanding how to work the equipment and if we needed him to fix anything else. Not only did he communicate with us consistently, but he took time to train us on all the equipment. We cannot thank Jesse enough for all he’s done for our church and we are saddened to see him go. The only negative about this situation is that we felt a connection with Jesse and are upset that we won’t see him anymore. Please know he is amazing and his work is great, and the costs were definitely affordable, and wow was he dependable!”
— Pastor Ken Kline | First Christian Church of Newton Falls
WORSHIP LEADERS
“Our experience with Jesse and Slingshot Media Services has been enlightening to say the least. We thought our sound system needed work and could use an upgrade, but we weren’t sure where to start and questioned whether we could even afford to do much. Jesse put our doubts to rest immediately, finding ways to accomplish upgrades at a cost we could afford. He understood the financial limitations small churches face and came up with ways to get the job done that we could afford. His experience as a worship leader as well as a sound/video technician really gave him the edge in figuring out solutions to all our questions. Our live stream presentation has really improved, and much of that didn’t cost us anything. Jesse showed us a better way to use our equipment. I think the training our technicians received might have been the best investment we’ve ever made. We are thrilled with Slingshot Media Services and we highly recommend giving them a shot (no pun intended).”
— Matt Brungard | Worship Leader | New Springfield Church Of God
“Jesse puts an incredible amount of effort and attention to detail into everything he does. He has a great eye for how things should look and a great ear for how things should sound. We have worked on many creative and technical projects together, and every one of them has produced results beyond expectation because of his passion in these areas.”
— Nathan Stauffer | Worship Pastor
“Jesse has been awesome to work with. He is genuinely the best of the best. Every single week he is looking for ways to stay up on things and improve them to the best they can be. He does not settle for mediocrity. He is extremely knowledgeable and he shares that knowledge well as he teaches his team to adapt and adjust to new changes. Our church live stream is the best quality I have ever seen. I’m very thankful to be able to have a front row seat to his work.”
— Sydney Smith | Worship Leader
“As long as I have known Jesse his life has demonstrated the following scriptural principle which is that whatever your hand finds to do, do it heartily as unto the Lord. If Jesse is willing to share what he knows, is gifted in and has a passion for and help others achieve what he has, then get in line...get out of whatever technological rut you may be in and go forward. Not being hindered (electronically or otherwise) frees us for more focused ministry. Thanks Jesse, for allowing God to use you. You are a blessing and may He bless your new venture beyond your human expectations.”
— Craig Wade | Worship Leader | Teacher
“I am the Worship Arts Director for a small church. When COVID shut us down, we had to scramble to figure out how to worship in a new way. Jesse was a life saver for us! First, he guided us on what equipment we needed to accomplish our goals. Then, he came to our church building and fixed our sound issues from top to bottom. He made us a custom mix for both live sound and streaming. He’s very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I would recommend Slingshot to anyone looking to take their worship arts to the next level.“
— Kim Harberson | Worship Arts Director
“Have you ever been so frustrated or confused by an aspect of technology that you want to rip out your hair or quit altogether? That was me!! Jesse helped answer many questions I had and took the time to speak with me on the phone from the perspective of a musician and then as a Christian. His help with custom tracks for my worship team is going to enable my team to grow from 1 to as many as I can fit on the stage. So grateful for his help. Looking forward to contributing to partner with him and his business.”
— Reba Babyak | Worship Pastor
“I met Jesse through The Gate Church. I was on the worship team there when he came onto staff as the worship arts pastor at The Gate. we were lacking a lot in general and needed lots of help. our stage was lackluster and the music was just ok. I was very excited to hear we were getting a worship arts pastor who would be aiming to get us to be our absolute best. In a little over a month our worship services did a 180. It was like a whole new worship team and whole new stage. Jesse definatley know what he is doing and is very good at it!
— Grant Signor | Worship Leader
“After getting the go-ahead to update some equipment at church, I contacted Jesse. I was slightly anxious considering budgets for church music programs. My initial request was to analyze our Sunday service's live stream to improve the quality. Not only did Jesse rise to that occasion, he created an itemized priority list of how to enhance our in-house sound, over the course of time, as well.He is incredibly knowledgeable and brings more than 20 years of expertise to the table and it shows! We are incredibly satisfied with the updates, his service, and the rate of this top-notch company.”
—Tami Franklin | Worship Leader
CHURCH LEADERS
“Jesse Fellows is one of the most talented worship leaders I have met. He began leading worship at The Gate Church about 3 years ago. At that time, our worship team had some talented volunteers, but very little technical expertise working with sound systems, lighting systems, and video production. Jesse joined our staff as a part-time worship leader with a very limited budget, and he completely revolutionized worship at The Gate Church. Jesse hit the ground running, and for the first 3 months that he led the team, there were significant changes happening every week. He quickly overhauled the sound system and greatly improved the sound quality in the Worship Center while, at the same time, simplifying the system and the sound board to make it more reliable and more user-friendly for volunteers. Within a few weeks of his arrival, Jesse began adding lights to the stage as the budget permitted. He purchased inexpensive lighting equipment and used volunteer labor wherever he could, and within a few months our church had a state-of-the art stage lighting system that could be controlled from the sound booth or pre-programmed to run autonomously. Jesse’s knowledge of lighting hardware and software enabled him to take a very small budget and design and build an impressive stage lighting system from the ground up that can be easily configured for subtle lighting additions or bold lighting statements, and anywhere in between.
Once the sound and lighting improvements were finished, Jesse began working on video enhancements. He added video capability to the worship service along with a video feed of the service that we now use in other rooms for people who are unable to join us in the worship center. Because of Jesse’s extensive technical improvements to our sound and video, we were very well prepared for the rapid move to online services when Covid-19 forced us to suspend public meetings for several months.
Jesse’s talent as a musician and his technical expertise is matched with a heart for discipleship and a passion for the Church. He has taken a very personal interest in disciplining each member of the worship team and pushing them to develop their abilities as a musician and, more importantly, as a worshiper and follower of Jesus.
I am honored to recommend Jesse Fellows as a consultant for any church seeking to improve the quality of their corporate worship. Jesse has the technical expertise to overhaul sound systems, lighting systems, and video production, and he has a passion for the church, for worship, and for excellence that compels him to pour his heart into his work. “
— Joe Montgomery | Teacher
“At this point in our lives, I’ve known Jesse for longer than I haven’t known him. Over the past 20 years, I have seen him play shows as the lead singer, lead guitarist, back-up guitarist, bass player, and drummer. When he isn’t on the stage, he’s in the sound booth tweaking the sound to perfection. When he isn’t on the stage or in the sound booth, he’s writing and recording his own music, new covers of old hymns and worship songs, or new leads and hooks to current favorites. Jesse has spent many years sharpening and honing his skill and understanding of not just music, but sound. All of this time and effort can be summed up in one word: excellence.”
— Shane Pelanda | Teacher
MINISTRY LEADERS
“I’m grateful for Jesse and Slingshot Media Services for the attention to detail that was so important to getting our audio and visual to the place it needed to be. With professionalism, commitment to excellence, and a “whatever it takes” approach to the project; we are now in a place to use media to proclaim the Gospel. I highly recommend Slingshot Media Services for your media needs.”
— Jared Woodward | The Rescue Mission | COO
“I have been leading groups like churches for going on 15 years and I have never seen anyone who knows more about production than Jesse. He really knows how to put all the pieces together to make any production be the zenith of professional. His knowledge of the equipment, his understanding of the importance of the message and his down to earth personality make him the ideal person to work with in any environment. I highly recommend you use the services of Jesse, you won’t regret it I’ve seen it firsthand.”
— Andrew Chamberlin | CEO at Jericho Road Ministries, Inc.
Jesse Fellows led worship for our Night of Worship on multiple occasions. It was obvious that much time and prayer had gone into selecting songs of worship. Also, the song selections for the videos he produced fit perfectly and were very professionally done. The way he projected Bible verses into each client’s testimony was an added bonus. Jesse has a very creative mind always thinking outside of the box. He is so knowledgeable going over and above what is expected. I would highly recommend his services for any audio, video or worship.
- Carol Faloon | Co-Founder of STABILITY IN CRISIS ministry
MUSICIANS
“I have known, worked with, and learned from Jesse for over 20 years. I have worked from him in the capacity as a guitarist and bassist, and learned from him as a worship leader. He has served as each of these (and more!) and uses the lessons of his experience to enable those around him in their own pursuits. He assisted me when I was thrust into the role as worship leader, training me in different areas of sound mixing and production, and other nuances of leadership that are not tangible. It’s his ability to combine the creative and the practical that make him stand out in a field of others. His concern that everything is done to the best of his ability is woven into every area of his life, and wants to help others who would desire to be their best at whatever it is they do.
He truly seeks to live a life that reflects the value he places on Christ, and as such has dedicated himself to the pursuit of excellence. I have never worked with anyone who dedicates himself to the pursuit of excellence as he does!”
— Matt Bushling | Musician | Church Leader
“Kevin Stanton is like a magical tree that grows from sunshine and hope and produces nothing but wishes and dreams. Working with Kevin is like getting to hold a rare baby red panda in your arms, its soft fur running through your fingers (the panda’s - not Kevin’s). If I had a million more years to live, I would write a million more albums just so I could work on the album artwork with him. The angels of modern design sing his name and so will you if you hire him for your next project. Pay him triple, no quadruple whatever he asks - I promise you it’s worth it!”
— Nathan Stauffer | Professional Musician
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jesse for a little over two years now, and in that time I’ve seen our entire media ministry grow beyond what I thought was realistically attainable. Our process continues to grow bigger and run smoother, which can be attributed to Jesse’s knowledge of the technology used and most importantly, the way those systems interact with each other. As a stage musician I personally have seen most of Jesse’s expertise come in to play with live-mixing, managing acoustics, integration of Ableton tracks, and the troubleshooting that comes with those areas. Jesse’s vast knowledge of the individual pieces of the puzzle help create a unified system for our church services. It never feels like the music team is on a different page than the visual guys; our team is a streamlined, efficient, well-trained and willing group of people and programs that create a stronger ministry together than we would apart. “
— Jesse Smith | Drummer | Guitar Player
“Jesse has a heart for servant leadership. For a man who consumes very little caffeine, he is one of the most energetic, motivated, and task driven people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I know if Jesse is given goals, they will be completed with a level quality and creativity that regularly surpasses his peers. His knowledge of technology, music equipment, audio and visual equipment, and troubleshooting is vast. He’s always doing what’s necessary to keep the competitive edge and serve where he is needed. I’m confident Jesse and his team will find a creative and cutting edge solution for you and your operation.”
— Nick Sukosd | Digital Marketing | Web Development | Musician
“I really enjoyed working with Kevin on my album artwork. He has a lot of good ideas and the ability to make them happen. He was also willing to try out different options, which I greatly appreciated. His attention to detail helped avoid several problems further down the road. Anybody looking for an experienced graphic designer or even just help with a project they are working on could really benefit from his creative and technical skills.”
— Nathan Stauffer | Professional Musician
“Jesse helped our band setup audio and video equipment for our virtual, online 2020 New Years Eve show. Because of his vast knowledge and experience, we were able to stream an extremely professional, interactive show live to our fans over social media. The video and audio quality were amazing and the feedback we received was nothing short of stellar. If you’re looking for someone to help you with your multimedia projects, Jesse’s your man!”
— Rajma Mckenzie | Musician | Founder & Chief Creative Officer of rajma.net
SOUND ENGINEERS
“As long as I have known Jesse David Fellows, I have never seen him stay in just one place in the media world. He has went from small sound board running to running sound and lighting from his own band, to completely running a full sunday morning service. His heart and soul goes into his tasks of putting into effect of good sound and good lighting that doesn't distract from what God is doing in the room. Our media world is always changing and with Jesse at the helm of the preparations, you can guarantee he takes the new and old ways into consideration. He has great insight from years and years of watching church media change. As a worship leader as well he knows what is needed when others do not. He takes time to listen and even puts in the hours to help the sounds perfect inside the room.”
— Christopher Cook | Sound Engineer
“I consider Jesse Fellows as one of the most knowledgeable and professional individuals in the live music and production industry that I have met. Having had a background in live sound production and touring New Zealand I would recommend any advice he has for sound quality and performance.”
— Stu Blank | Sound Engineer
“As a member of our church’s volunteer Sound/Livestream/Video/IT Teams for the last 12 years, I can tell you there has been a lot of frustration over what technology to purchase to accomplish what we want to accomplish. While trying to be a good steward of the funds that God has blessed us with, we just did not have someone who knew about ALL the different technologies and how to implement them in the most cost-effective way. Then we met Jesse Fellows from Slingshot Media Services. I literally cannot say enough about this man and his company. When we met Jesse, our biggest challenge was to make the sound on our livestream better. Not only did he help us accomplish that, he recommended the proper sound board, completely revamped our wiring, reset our stage, taught our praise band member how to use an app to adjust their own monitor feeds, installed 4 PTZ cameras, set up our own private internet network for just the sound booth, advised us on new internet service, completely revamped HOW we livestream, suggested software and hardware that would seamlessly work together, and so much more. Once all these systems were set up, he even came to our praise rehearsals to make sure it was all working properly and sat next to us on several Sunday mornings to make sure he was there in case we encountered any new issues. Talk about going above and beyond and exceeding our expectations! I recommend Jesse Fellows and Slingshot Media Services with my highest possible recommendation. I look forward to a long professional relationship with Jesse.”
— Curt Weingart | Senior Sound/IT Tech | New Springfield Church of God
MEDIA OPERATORS
“When our church moved into our new building, our PA system sounded pretty good, but we knew it needed some fine tuning. We asked Jesse from Slingshot Media Services to take a look and listen to it. He came in and after just a few hours of analyzing and tweaking, it sounds better than it ever had before. We have a large sanctuary with very high wood peak ceilings and wooden posts, so the room echo was one of the problems. He EQ’d the room, and set the proper levels of compression and channel EQ for each person’s channel, and also the recording line we use for our live streaming of services every Sunday.
Myself and the church consider it money very well spent on making sure our message goes out in the best quality possible.“
— Thomas E. Gregory | Media Director | Sovereign Grace Chapel
“Having worked with Jesse at our church for a couple of years, I can say with confidence that he is the go to person for any of your audio/visual needs.
Jesse will get your system set up and running in a timely manner. Plus he won’t stop with just the setup. He has a knack for explaining how to operate a system in an understandable way. “
— Kevin McLaughlin | PP7 operator
CREATIVES
“I have worked with Jesse on a number of multimedia projects over the years. He has a broad range of technical expertise in dealing with equipment, platforms, and digital systems. In addition, he has a great eye for detail. I would highly recommend him to any organization that is trying to set up or upgrade their audio or visual environment.”
— Joshua Shank | Founder & Creative Director | Rocket Republic
“I would most warmingly, and enthusiastically suggest using Jesse Fellows for any and all of your sound or lighting needs. Jesse is very knowledgeable, hard working, and has generally taken our sound from mediocre at best, to first class. Our audiences have commented from day one after Jesse chose our new equipment, installed it, and we put it into use how it was added to our productions. He is very personable, and is dedicated to making sure the equipment is just right for the space he is working on. Jesse also came in after setting up and ran the sound for our events, so he was sure our staff knew how to work the equipment solidly. That extra bit of dedication has shown us how he is dedicated and committed to his craft and making sure his customers are happy from the beginning to the end. He was so good we have decided to hire him to run sound for our productions this season. If you have any questions about Jesse or his company feel free to contact me.”
— Brendan Byers | Vice President | Oakland Center for the Arts/Kids First Theatre Initiative
CHURCH MEMBERS
“Jesse has been a key part of the major enhancements to our church’s audio visual deficiencies for the past several years. He has a knack for stage lighting, layout, design and appearance, to say the least. Most recently, when COVID-19 caused most to start doing those typical things at home/virtually, our church did not miss a beat in providing a high-quality streaming service online. Since this transition, additional enhancements have been made with our online services to make them most effective for those who are still attending church virtually. Outside of being with my church family, the experience, quality and sound of our online services have not wavered. Jesse was added to our church’s team to strategically upgrade and enhance our overall worship and arts experience and he has overdelivered beyond anyone’s expectations, in my opinion. You will not regret working with Jesse, and I say that with all sincerity! As an added bonus, he is hardworking, honest, sincere and has a fantastic sense of humor. That alone will be worth your investment!”
— Danielle Boatner | The Gate Church
“Our church audio and video was a disaster. It hadn’t had an overhaul since probably the 70s. The sound for video/music for weeks had been the audio from the back of a TV. We reached out to Slingshot Media Services for a quote. In the initial meeting, Jesse was honest with what he saw, he listened to what our future plan was, patient with the members who weren't as technical and addressed every one our concerns. Jesse was very understanding that the process took time for approval, but once approved and we got everything ordered he was very quick to have everything ready for service. Being the technical one out of our church, I took on the responsibility of learning and running our new system. With the one on one with Jesse at the church service and our interactions, I must say that he has patience of a Saint. He walked me through step-by-step on getting everything up and running, he showed me how to use the different programs and he answered all the questions I had all while my 2yr old was running around trying to get our attention. He didn't rush, made it simple, made multiple trips out to tweak the system and check on the concerns that I noticed. Jesse followed-up with me to make sure I wasn't having any issues and responded back to my messages exceptionally quick. As someone who has trained customer service for over 10 years, I can honestly say that his customer service is impeccable. I would recommend Slingshot Media Services to any church who is nervous about upgrading and learning a new program. Im glad that we went with Jesse and Slingshot Media Services!”
— Laura Neiheisel | First Christian Church of Newton Falls
BUSINESS OWNERS
“I have used Kevin as the primary visual arts creator on all of my business and personal endeavors. I have been extremely pleased with his attention to detail and his ability to deliver a high quality, professional and edgy design that captures the identity of each project in a timely manner. Kevin has always been extremely professional in all of our business dealings and communication is always clear. I would recommend Kevin to anyone in need of design work and a good experience.”

When he isn’t on the stage, he’s in the sound booth tweaking the sound to perfection. When he isn’t on the stage or in the sound booth, he’s writing and recording his own music, new covers of old hymns and worship songs, or new leads and hooks to current favorites. Jesse has spent many years sharpening and honing his skill and understanding of not just music, but sound. All of this time and effort can be summed up in one word: excellence.”
— Shane Pelanda | Teacher
MINISTRY LEADERS
“I’m grateful for Jesse and Slingshot Media Services for the attention to detail that was so important to getting our audio and visual to the place it needed to be. With professionalism, commitment to excellence, and a “whatever it takes” approach to the project; we are now in a place to use media to proclaim the Gospel. I highly recommend Slingshot Media Services for your media needs.”
— Jared Woodward | The Rescue Mission | COO
“I have been leading groups like churches for going on 15 years and I have never seen anyone who knows more about production than Jesse. He really knows how to put all the pieces together to make any production be the zenith of professional. His knowledge of the equipment, his understanding of the importance of the message and his down to earth personality make him the ideal person to work with in any environment. I highly recommend you use the services of Jesse, you won’t regret it I’ve seen it firsthand.”
— Andrew Chamberlin | CEO at Jericho Road Ministries, Inc.
Jesse Fellows led worship for our Night of Worship on multiple occasions. It was obvious that much time and prayer had gone into selecting songs of worship. Also, the song selections for the videos he produced fit perfectly and were very professionally done. The way he projected Bible verses into each client’s testimony was an added bonus. Jesse has a very creative mind always thinking outside of the box. He is so knowledgeable going over and above what is expected. I would highly recommend his services for any audio, video or worship.
- Carol Faloon | Co-Founder of STABILITY IN CRISIS ministry
MUSICIANS
“I have known, worked with, and learned from Jesse for over 20 years. I have worked from him in the capacity as a guitarist and bassist, and learned from him as a worship leader. He has served as each of these (and more!) and uses the lessons of his experience to enable those around him in their own pursuits. He assisted me when I was thrust into the role as worship leader, training me in different areas of sound mixing and production, and other nuances of leadership that are not tangible. It’s his ability to combine the creative and the practical that make him stand out in a field of others. His concern that everything is done to the best of his ability is woven into every area of his life, and wants to help others who would desire to be their best at whatever it is they do.
He truly seeks to live a life that reflects the value he places on Christ, and as such has dedicated himself to the pursuit of excellence. I have never worked with anyone who dedicates himself to the pursuit of excellence as he does!”
— Matt Bushling | Musician | Church Leader
“Kevin Stanton is like a magical tree that grows from sunshine and hope and produces nothing but wishes and dreams. Working with Kevin is like getting to hold a rare baby red panda in your arms, its soft fur running through your fingers (the panda’s - not Kevin’s). If I had a million more years to live, I would write a million more albums just so I could work on the album artwork with him. The angels of modern design sing his name and so will you if you hire him for your next project. Pay him triple, no quadruple whatever he asks - I promise you it’s worth it!”
— Nathan Stauffer | Professional Musician
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jesse for a little over two years now, and in that time I’ve seen our entire media ministry grow beyond what I thought was realistically attainable. Our process continues to grow bigger and run smoother, which can be attributed to Jesse’s knowledge of the technology used and most importantly, the way those systems interact with each other. As a stage musician I personally have seen most of Jesse’s expertise come in to play with live-mixing, managing acoustics, integration of Ableton tracks, and the troubleshooting that comes with those areas. Jesse’s vast knowledge of the individual pieces of the puzzle help create a unified system for our church services. It never feels like the music team is on a different page than the visual guys; our team is a streamlined, efficient, well-trained and willing group of people and programs that create a stronger ministry together than we would apart. “
— Jesse Smith | Drummer | Guitar Player
“Jesse has a heart for servant leadership. For a man who consumes very little caffeine, he is one of the most energetic, motivated, and task driven people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I know if Jesse is given goals, they will be completed with a level quality and creativity that regularly surpasses his peers. His knowledge of technology, music equipment, audio and visual equipment, and troubleshooting is vast. He’s always doing what’s necessary to keep the competitive edge and serve where he is needed. I’m confident Jesse and his team will find a creative and cutting edge solution for you and your operation.”
— Nick Sukosd | Digital Marketing | Web Development | Musician
“I really enjoyed working with Kevin on my album artwork. He has a lot of good ideas and the ability to make them happen. He was also willing to try out different options, which I greatly appreciated. His attention to detail helped avoid several problems further down the road. Anybody looking for an experienced graphic designer or even just help with a project they are working on could really benefit from his creative and technical skills.”
— Nathan Stauffer | Professional Musician
“Jesse helped our band setup audio and video equipment for our virtual, online 2020 New Years Eve show. Because of his vast knowledge and experience, we were able to stream an extremely professional, interactive show live to our fans over social media. The video and audio quality were amazing and the feedback we received was nothing short of stellar. If you’re looking for someone to help you with your multimedia projects, Jesse’s your man!”
— Rajma Mckenzie | Musician | Founder & Chief Creative Officer of rajma.net
“Thanks for all the wonderful design work Kevin Stanton!”
— Ancient Gates | Worship Band
SOUND ENGINEERS
“As long as I have known Jesse David Fellows, I have never seen him stay in just one place in the media world. He has went from small sound board running to running sound and lighting from his own band, to completely running a full sunday morning service. His heart and soul goes into his tasks of putting into effect of good sound and good lighting that doesn't distract from what God is doing in the room. Our media world is always changing and with Jesse at the helm of the preparations, you can guarantee he takes the new and old ways into consideration. He has great insight from years and years of watching church media change. As a worship leader as well he knows what is needed when others do not. He takes time to listen and even puts in the hours to help the sounds perfect inside the room.”
— Christopher Cook | Sound Engineer
“I consider Jesse Fellows as one of the most knowledgeable and professional individuals in the live music and production industry that I have met. Having had a background in live sound production and touring New Zealand I would recommend any advice he has for sound quality and performance.”
— Stu Blank | Sound Engineer
MEDIA OPERATORS
“When our church moved into our new building, our PA system sounded pretty good, but we knew it needed some fine tuning. We asked Jesse from Slingshot Media Services to take a look and listen to it. He came in and after just a few hours of analyzing and tweaking, it sounds better than it ever had before. We have a large sanctuary with very high wood peak ceilings and wooden posts, so the room echo was one of the problems. He EQ’d the room, and set the proper levels of compression and channel EQ for each person’s channel, and also the recording line we use for our live streaming of services every Sunday.
Myself and the church consider it money very well spent on making sure our message goes out in the best quality possible.“
— Thomas E. Gregory | Media Director | Sovereign Grace Chapel
“Having worked with Jesse at our church for a couple of years, I can say with confidence that he is the go to person for any of your audio/visual needs.
Jesse will get your system set up and running in a timely manner. Plus he won’t stop with just the setup. He has a knack for explaining how to operate a system in an understandable way. “
— Kevin McLaughlin | PP7 operator
CREATIVES
“I have worked with Jesse on a number of multimedia projects over the years. He has a broad range of technical expertise in dealing with equipment, platforms, and digital systems. In addition, he has a great eye for detail. I would highly recommend him to any organization that is trying to set up or upgrade their audio or visual environment.”
— Joshua Shank | Founder & Creative Director | Rocket Republic
“I would most warmingly, and enthusiastically suggest using Jesse Fellows for any and all of your sound or lighting needs. Jesse is very knowledgeable, hard working, and has generally taken our sound from mediocre at best, to first class. Our audiences have commented from day one after Jesse chose our new equipment, installed it, and we put it into use how it was added to our productions. He is very personable, and is dedicated to making sure the equipment is just right for the space he is working on. Jesse also came in after setting up and ran the sound for our events, so he was sure our staff knew how to work the equipment solidly. That extra bit of dedication has shown us how he is dedicated and committed to his craft and making sure his customers are happy from the beginning to the end. He was so good we have decided to hire him to run sound for our productions this season. If you have any questions about Jesse or his company feel free to contact me.”
— Brendan Byers | Vice President | Oakland Center for the Arts/Kids First Theatre Initiative
CHURCH MEMBERS
“Jesse has been a key part of the major enhancements to our church’s audio visual deficiencies for the past several years. He has a knack for stage lighting, layout, design and appearance, to say the least. Most recently, when COVID-19 caused most to start doing those typical things at home/virtually, our church did not miss a beat in providing a high-quality streaming service online. Since this transition, additional enhancements have been made with our online services to make them most effective for those who are still attending church virtually. Outside of being with my church family, the experience, quality and sound of our online services have not wavered. Jesse was added to our church’s team to strategically upgrade and enhance our overall worship and arts experience and he has overdelivered beyond anyone’s expectations, in my opinion. You will not regret working with Jesse, and I say that with all sincerity! As an added bonus, he is hardworking, honest, sincere and has a fantastic sense of humor. That alone will be worth your investment!”
— Danielle Boatner
BUSINESS OWNERS
“I have used Kevin as the primary visual arts creator on all of my business and personal endeavors. I have been extremely pleased with his attention to detail and his ability to deliver a high quality, professional and edgy design that captures the identity of each project in a timely manner. Kevin has always been extremely professional in all of our business dealings and communication is always clear. I would recommend Kevin to anyone in need of design work and a good experience.”

What people are saying…
PASTORS
“Jesse has exceeded expectations. Not only has he elevated our entire in-person and online worship experiences through video, sound, and lighting he was able to do so by using much of our own current equipment. Jesse’s ability to understand, plan, implement and train to the highest levels is impressive.”
— Gary Mariano | Pastor of The Gate Church
“Jesse is AMAZING ... he helped us set up and problem solve literally EVERYTHING on the production end of things! He has over two decades of experience in music and production and, as a worship pastor, he has a keen understanding for what churches are trying to accomplish in those areas. As a pastor, my knowledge base is somewhat limited so Jesse was a Godsend for us in that regard. He saved us countless hours and mistakes and everything he did was based on his passion for professionalism at an affordable cost. The longer I spoke with him the more impressed I was with the extent of his knowledge in technology, lighting, software, music, audio, live-streaming, visual presentation and more. In addition to those things he’s an exemplary Jesus-follower and he’s an all around awesome dude. Pleasure to work with and money well spent! Thanks Jesse!!“
— AJ Platt, DMin | Lead Pastor Gospel Church | Owner/Creator 116 Productions and PastorAJ.com
"We highly recommend Jesse to help with your church's audio/visual projects. Jesse completed a full digital conversion of our church's sound system and upgraded our stage lighting to LED fixtures. He helped recommend the best solutions, supplied all the parts & installation, and completed all decibel tuning & programming. This conversion process was seamless and was completed promptly, which did not interfere with regular church operations. Jesse is a one-stop-shop, highly intelligent, driven, and passionate for his craft and customer."
— Brent Beck | Youngstown Metro Church
“I would like to take a moment to share a well-deserved recommendation on behalf Jesse Fellows (now known as Slingshot Media Services), for the work he performed at my former church, New Covenant Church of the Nazarene in Youngstown, Ohio. Jesse is an amazing source of great knowledge and experience in the field of sound and lighting. He goes beyond just installing your equipment, he takes great care in making sure it is set-up properly for your particular needs. His costs were well below some of the higher end sound/lighting companies that we sought quotes from. He saved us a lot of money and in turn we received top quality service and support.”
— Jeff Gilkerson | Pastor for Grace Community Church of the Nazarene
WORSHIP LEADERS
“Our experience with Jesse and Slingshot Media Services has been enlightening to say the least. We thought our sound system needed work and could use an upgrade, but we weren’t sure where to start and questioned whether we could even afford to do much. Jesse put our doubts to rest immediately, finding ways to accomplish upgrades at a cost we could afford. He understood the financial limitations small churches face and came up with ways to get the job done that we could afford. His experience as a worship leader as well as a sound/video technician really gave him the edge in figuring out solutions to all our questions. Our live stream presentation has really improved, and much of that didn’t cost us anything. Jesse showed us a better way to use our equipment. I think the training our technicians received might have been the best investment we’ve ever made. We are thrilled with Slingshot Media Services and we highly recommend giving them a shot (no pun intended).”
— Matt Brungard | Worship Leader | New Springfield Church Of God
“Jesse puts an incredible amount of effort and attention to detail into everything he does. He has a great eye for how things should look and a great ear for how things should sound. We have worked on many creative and technical projects together, and every one of them has produced results beyond expectation because of his passion in these areas.”
— Nathan Stauffer | Worship Pastor
“Jesse has been awesome to work with. He is genuinely the best of the best. Every single week he is looking for ways to stay up on things and improve them to the best they can be. He does not settle for mediocrity. He is extremely knowledgeable and he shares that knowledge well as he teaches his team to adapt and adjust to new changes. Our church live stream is the best quality I have ever seen. I’m very thankful to be able to have a front row seat to his work.”
— Sydney Smith | Worship Leader
“As long as I have known Jesse his life has demonstrated the following scriptural principle which is that whatever your hand finds to do, do it heartily as unto the Lord. If Jesse is willing to share what he knows, is gifted in and has a passion for and help others achieve what he has, then get in line...get out of whatever technological rut you may be in and go forward. Not being hindered (electronically or otherwise) frees us for more focused ministry. Thanks Jesse, for allowing God to use you. You are a blessing and may He bless your new venture beyond your human expectations.”
— Craig Wade | Worship Leader | Teacher
“I am the Worship Arts Director for a small church. When COVID shut us down, we had to scramble to figure out how to worship in a new way. Jesse was a life saver for us! First, he guided us on what equipment we needed to accomplish our goals. Then, he came to our church building and fixed our sound issues from top to bottom. He made us a custom mix for both live sound and streaming. He’s very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I would recommend Slingshot to anyone looking to take their worship arts to the next level.“
— Kim Harberson | Worship Arts Director
“Have you ever been so frustrated or confused by an aspect of technology that you want to rip out your hair or quit altogether? That was me!! Jesse helped answer many questions I had and took the time to speak with me on the phone from the perspective of a musician and then as a Christian. His help with custom tracks for my worship team is going to enable my team to grow from 1 to as many as I can fit on the stage. So grateful for his help. Looking forward to contributing to partner with him and his business.”
— Reba Babyak | Worship Pastor
“I met Jesse through the Gate Church. I was on the worship team there when he came onto staff as the worship arts pastor at the Gate. we were lacking a lot in general and needed lots of help. our stage was lacluster and the music was just ok. I was very excited to hear we were getting a worship arts pastor who would be aiming to get us to be our absolute best. In a little over a month our worship services did a 180. It was like a whole new worship team and whole new stage. Jesse definatley know what he is doing and is very good at it!
— Grant Signor | Worship Leader
“After getting the go-ahead to update some equipment at church, I contacted Jesse. I was slightly anxious considering budgets for church music programs. My initial request was to analyze our Sunday service's live stream to improve the quality. Not only did Jesse rise to that occasion, he created an itemized priority list of how to enhance our in-house sound, over the course of time, as well.He is incredibly knowledgeable and brings more than 20 years of expertise to the table and it shows! We are incredibly satisfied with the updates, his service, and the rate of this top-notch company.”
—Tami Franklin | Worship Leader
CHURCH LEADERS
“Jesse Fellows is one of the most talented worship leaders I have met. He began leading worship at The Gate Church about 3 years ago. At that time, our worship team had some talented volunteers, but very little technical expertise working with sound systems, lighting systems, and video production. Jesse joined our staff as a part-time worship leader with a very limited budget, and he completely revolutionized worship at The Gate Church. Jesse hit the ground running, and for the first 3 months that he led the team, there were significant changes happening every week. He quickly overhauled the sound system and greatly improved the sound quality in the Worship Center while, at the same time, simplifying the system and the sound board to make it more reliable and more user-friendly for volunteers. Within a few weeks of his arrival, Jesse began adding lights to the stage as the budget permitted. He purchased inexpensive lighting equipment and used volunteer labor wherever he could, and within a few months our church had a state-of-the art stage lighting system that could be controlled from the sound booth or pre-programmed to run autonomously. Jesse’s knowledge of lighting hardware and software enabled him to take a very small budget and design and build an impressive stage lighting system from the ground up that can be easily configured for subtle lighting additions or bold lighting statements, and anywhere in between.
Once the sound and lighting improvements were finished, Jesse began working on video enhancements. He added video capability to the worship service along with a video feed of the service that we now use in other rooms for people who are unable to join us in the worship center. Because of Jesse’s extensive technical improvements to our sound and video, we were very well prepared for the rapid move to online services when Covid-19 forced us to suspend public meetings for several months.
Jesse’s talent as a musician and his technical expertise is matched with a heart for discipleship and a passion for the Church. He has taken a very personal interest in disciplining each member of the worship team and pushing them to develop their abilities as a musician and, more importantly, as a worshiper and follower of Jesus.
I am honored to recommend Jesse Fellows as a consultant for any church seeking to improve the quality of their corporate worship. Jesse has the technical expertise to overhaul sound systems, lighting systems, and video production, and he has a passion for the church, for worship, and for excellence that compels him to pour his heart into his work. “
— Joe Montgomery | Teacher
“At this point in our lives, I’ve known Jesse for longer than I haven’t known him. Over the past 20 years, I have seen him play shows as the lead singer, lead guitarist, back-up guitarist, bass player, and drummer. When he isn’t on the stage, he’s in the sound booth tweaking the sound to perfection. When he isn’t on the stage or in the sound booth, he’s writing and recording his own music, new covers of old hymns and worship songs, or new leads and hooks to current favorites. Jesse has spent many years sharpening and honing his skill and understanding of not just music, but sound. All of this time and effort can be summed up in one word: excellence.”
