A Multi-Stage Approach to Upgrading with Revival City Church
For many Churches, the process of upgrading an auditorium or worship space is a multi-year journey. This approach can often better fulfil the church’s budget, needs and vision for the space - as in the case of Revival City Church, led by Senior Pastors David and Donna Hall.
Located in Adelaide, South Australia, Revival City Church (formally Lifepoint Church) is a fast-growing multi-generational congregation with a vibrant and contemporary approach to its services. When it was time to begin the journey of upgrading their gear, they approached Forefront Productions to help take their production to the next level, kicking off a multi-stage plan that would see significant improvements across lighting, video, and audio.
Stage One - Wireless In-Ear Monitors and DiGoCo Sound Console
The church’s first investment would come in the form of a comprehensive wireless in-ear monitoring system. This investment would equip the worship team, helping them enhance their craft, which would ultimately be felt by the congregation. Alongside the Sennheiser wireless IEMs, Forefront also provided wireless microphone kits. This comprehensive wireless in-ear monitor upgrade was anchored by the powerful and flexible DiGiCo S31 console and D2 rack. This digital mixer enables the audio team at Revival City Church to mix front-of-house, monitors, and broadcast from one console and provides plenty of features to elevate the sonic experience for both the congregation and the band.
Stage Two - Lighting and LED Video
The second phase of upgrades kicked off in 2018, when the church moved into its new building. With a tight deadline and the need for a high-quality solution, the church was once again able to rely on the expertise and experience of Forefront. As well as the lighting infrastructure, Forefront also supplied 70 PixaPanel E3 panels with a 3.9mm pixel pitch– creating a breath-taking display for the new auditorium. As well as the stunning picture quality, the church production and creative teams have benefited significantly from the flexibility and ease of use of the PixaPanel LED wall, helping them to change configuration and refresh stage looks easily.
Stage Three - Adamson Line Array
In 2022, with the existing PA showing its age and limiting the worship experience, the church was once again ready to enlist the help of Forefront, fulfilling the last piece of the puzzle. To elevate the sonic quality and address the harsh and uneven coverage of the existing system, Forefront designed and installed a full Adamson
line array system. From the very first Sunday installed, the result was immediately noticeable. Thanks to its outstanding clarity and coverage, the Adamson IS7 Line array has proven popular with the multi-generational congregation. From Sunday morning service or youth on a Friday night, it’s flexible enough to suit any event type, creating an experience that any person walking into the room will find engaging and comfortable.
Forefront, from day one to one-hundred… and beyond!
When taking a multi-stage approach to church upgrades, it’s important to partner with an integrator who’s committed to every step of the process. With its proven track record of providing the highest quality of support and services, Forefront was the obvious choice for Revival City Church.
.Whilst most Churches may only undertake a large-scale upgrade once in a decade, for the Forefront team, it happens week in and week out, giving them a unique insight into the design and installation process. This combined with a focus on providing excellent solutions was a highlight for Revival Ciy Church.
