Fellowship Bible Church began in 1977 with 18 individuals and has experienced rapid growth in recent years. As the church body grew, the church’s vision for the new facility was to create a place that would stimulate community and foster connection between those attending the different venues while providing a more-visitor friendly environment that allows newcomers the opportunity to experience the hearts of the church members, connecting with them and to one another in the family of God.

The church’s new campus is located on 50 acres in west Little Rock and, when all phases are complete, will be comprised of approximately 200,000 sq. ft. with 3 worship centers, children’s and youth buildings, recreation space and offices. The three worship rooms provide seating for 2500 people - in addition to the main auditorium, the “Warehouse” venue seats 700 and the chapel seats 400. Each room includes multifunctional elements, such as flat floor seating and stadium seating in the main room. The chapel will be used as one of two video venues with the sermon broadcast live from the main auditorium. A visual and aural sense of community was very important in the design of this space. Plans for further use of the chapel include hosting weddings and funerals.

AD provided room design assistance in multiple venues throughout the campus, acoustics, video projection systems, theatrical and interior lighting (including auditorium house lighting, visual impact lighting and backstage work lights) and broadcast production systems design. Additionally, we provided distributed audio (BGM, paging) and video (MATV, video tie lines) campus-wide to include the cafe, bookstore, classrooms and commons areas.
