Houses of Worship

LD Alexander Lehman; Installation Solutions

Lighting for House of Worship venues comes with a unique set of criteria that require a considered design approach and product choices. PLSN speaks with Lighting Designer Alexander Lehman, currently working at Connection Pointe Christian Church about his years of experience in the HOW market segment. We also look at six House of Worship installations and check out their lighting choices.

Bonita Valley Community Church

Installations: Bonita Valley Community Church

Worship Facility Opens with Versatile Lighting, Video System

After 10 years of fundraising, design, and construction, Bonita Valley Community Church (BVCC) opened the doors to its new home of worship July 2014. Building dedication ceremonies took place just last month, on the one-year anniversary of the opening.

Illuminate Production Services (IPS) owner Rick Franke and his son, Caleb, helped the church modernize its visual presentation to churchgoers.

Installations – Destiny Christian Church

Destiny Christian Church is a well-established parish with a number of ministries, classes and outreach programs providing for a congregation of over 3,000. A growing ministry located in Rocklin, CA, they sought to change their style of worship and their approach to the worship experience, with lighting as a key component. Rick Franke, owner of Illuminate Production Services (IPS) has been instrumental in this goal. Hailing from a family steeped in ministry, he himself served as a youth minister for 15 years. He tells a bit of his back-story.

Greg Persinger and Vivid Illumination helped transform Indian Hills Community Church in Lincoln, NE.

A Talk with LD Greg Persinger

Greg Persinger found his calling as a church lighting designer by asking a simple question: Could he augment his touring rig with the church’s in-house moving lights? When the tech director he had posed that question to admitted that only one of his 40 fixtures worked, Persinger dug deeper into the reasons why. You could call it inspired intervention.

LED Technologies – A New Dawn for Church Visuals

Advances in LED Technology Create New Opportunities to Engage Worshippers

Churches have long recognized that lighting can help engage their congregations in a number of different ways, from reflecting the varying moods of services to creating a more visually appealing presentation on stage. Adding new dynamic visual elements to their services will also help churches attract and keep the attention of younger people.
