Bethel%20World%20Outreach%20-%20web%201Originally founded in 1984, the Bethel World Outreach Church has seen its ministry grow to where they currently hold worship services in six locations nationwide. As part of this growth, the worship family located in Brentwood, TN, recently underwent a building campaign to expand their ministry even further and in doing so they wished to make LED video a part of their worship services. While attending the WFX tradeshow in Nashville, Senior Pastor James Lowe found his solution for the new facility which was FLEXLite 6.9mm LED video tiles from PixelFLEX.

“With our Bethel Build Campaign underway, we were also about to undertake a month-long sermon series where our pastor wanted to show HD video elements during the message,” began Technical Director Garrett Hestla. “This was something entirely new for us and since we wanted to bring LED video into the new facility as well, we started looking at all the LED video products that could really help deliver an impactful message. I’ve known about PixelFLEX for a while and so after our pastor also met them at WFX, we agreed the FLEXLite 6.9mm would be a great solution for our worship services.”

Mackie DL32R a Perfect Fit for CenterPoint Church

In Product Newsby admin

untitledLaunched in 2008, CenterPoint Church is a dynamic, fast-growing, nondenominational church that hosts contemporary-style services, including an amplified praise band, along with a wide variety of events, meetings, and other activities. Recently, CenterPoint constructed a small pod-type building that seats 50 or 60 people. Called the Mini Hub, it’s a versatile space with a small stage, great for midweek events and activities, often including music. For this cozy space, the church’s tech team sought an easy-to-use sound system that was versatile, had a small footprint, and offered the features, sound quality, and convenience of state-of-the-art digital technology. CCI Solutions of Olympia, Washington, which designed and installed CenterPoint’s audio and video systems, provided the answer: the Mackie® DL32R rack-mount digital mixer.

The fact that the DL32R fits in just three rackspaces is very important. “We don’t even need outboard processors,” Pastor Cross points out. “For instance, the mixer’s EQ is our only room EQ.” CenterPoint’s DL32R is mounted in a small, custom-built media cabinet with wheels so it can be rolled out for events. Should the console in the main sanctuary fail, the DL32R could be rolled in to replace it. “We mostly use the mixer in our small space but I wouldn’t be afraid to use it in a much larger venue,” insists Cross. The cabinet holds the DL32R, the wireless equipment, and a couple of pullout trays with a laptop. The iPad that runs Mackie’s Master Fader™ control app recharges in the cabinet when not in use.
