i like that you were grounded and showed that it is not the most important..awesome

Would love to see some ideas for churches that have a lot of windows. We have a lot of natural light because of a skylight and side windows (which is great on saving energy). We also have white walls and a high wood-beam ceiling, so painting everything black isn't really an option.

Awesome to see Praise Church on this list! I helped to build this stage design! That's me on acoustic in the pictures.

Thank you guys so much! Sometimes things feel so complex and this helped ease my anxieties a bit.

Got any tips for churches that have a high level of ambient light? Our church has somewhere around 40 large windows and blacking them all out would be expensive (not to mention unpopular with the congregation). So those lighting ideas wouldn't work too well.

Wow, somebody have gave me some white LED tape actually from a church food pantry that no one wanted oh, I actually took it home I put it around the track of my mirrored wall and it looks awesome, it also made me think to go on Amazon and order some for my church and go around the columns in our sanctuary and drum Shield

Thank you, we are a new couple to a small church and no one has done a bulletin before, only I'm not sure how to downloard the template. I didn't see anything to click on.

What suggestions do you have for churches that have a lot of natural light in the day? These seems to all be churches that are totally inside and dark- what about a church where it is well lit by natural light in the day

My small church has a lot of natural light coming in through windows, we are not a church that blacks out the sanctuary, are there any ideas for us, even on a low budget?

I love Worship Leader Hangout! Great channel. But I also love my douse of Pro Church Tools!

We are a smaller (approx. 125) church that can seat about 250-275 and has big windows that have blackout screens so that part isn't a real problem for us. However, we have all white walls and a lot of our people (the ones who are little more vocal) don't like a dark room. I even have a couple of people on the Worship Team who like to see the people in the congregation. Is there any type of designs we can do that don't require the entire room to be quite as dark as usually preferred?

I have a question what if your church stage and church building is more Anglican looking and is more traditional and bright lights are essential in my church

Great info... Thank you, and God Bless....

The opening of this video from 0-1:30 is exactly what’s wrong with church these days, they said it it’s not about stage design or outdated design in general, that stuff isn’t all that important. I need to and I’d advise other church leaders to find that poll that they were talking about and find out the real reason why millennials aren’t attending church.

I'd like to get the LED strips with DMX on the ends so I can add them to the light board. I'd rather not use a dimmer pack. Any one have any recommendations on LED Strips with DMX? Or at least a converter/adapter/driver for DMX?

[agemploytony]

I think a lot of these design need darkness to show the lights - We have 10:00 service and it has a lot of daylight in the building...

[calebgibson]

I just bought these same led’s for an arcade Cabinet a week ago and now you are talking about this😂😂

[jarred]

What does this do to glorify God? I'm trying to understand how these stages at church that resemble electronic music event stages have anything to do with why we are at church in the first place.

[mynameisneb]

But my small church has big windows :'-(

[jroddy]

These wre not small churches. Change your video description.
