What would happen to our access to Faithlife Sermons after the sunset of Faithlife Sites?

(Our site is at https://sf-ca.org and sermon at https://sermons.faithlife.com/profile/sf-ca.)

Specifically, do we need to subscribe to Faithlife Sermons for Church as shown in https://sermons.faithlife.com/pricing?

I’m a bit confused about our current access to Faithlife Sermons. Is the Faithlife Sermons service we are using now the free tier, or is it bundled with Faithlife Sites where we have subscribed to?

Thanks.

    bumping in hopes of getting an appropriate answer

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I'm confused about my options to continue to use Faithlife Sermons in Faithlife Sites.

    I know that Faithlife Sites is discontinuing. There's one feature we used with Faithlife Sites that allows us to upload audio sermon. I'm not sure what's the migrate path for this.

    E.g. in https://sf-ca.org/sermons/1140388--revelation-ch18
    a sermon is uploaded and can also be found in
    https://sermons.logos.com/sermons/1140388-revelation-ch18

    After Faithlife Sites is discontinued, will I still be able to upload an audio sermon like this? Do I need a subscription for that? Is Logos Sermons for this?

    I'm sorry but this whole transition has been messy and confusing. I regret encouraging the church to sign up for Faithlife stuff.

    I'm sorry to hear that this transition has been difficult for many of you.  

    Here are some answers to your questions.

    1. On June 30th, Faithlife Sites will be shut down and you will no longer have access to the site.
    2. Faithlife Sermons, will not be shut down and we will continue to support it as "Logos Sermons".
    3. You can continue to upload your sermons to Faithlife (Logos) Sermons for free and that service will not be impacted.
    4. However, the feed of sermons on your website will be shut down unless you have chosen to migrate your site to another provider.
    5. Our recommended Sites provider is Finalweb.  We recommend them because they have built an importer tool to help ease this transition.  You can setup a site there at www.finalweb.com/faithlife
    6. If you set up a website with Finalweb, they will import your historical sermons for you.
    7. Whether you use Finalweb or not, you can embed or send an RSS feed of your sermons to your new website. 
      1. If you have Finalweb and would like to setup this sermons feed, I've created a brief tutorial here: https://app.tango.us/app/workflow/Embedding-Sermons-using-Media-Library-Settings-f756dd65feb34235a510a85e15344fef
