Friendswood Community Church
Friendswood, Texas
Seat Count: 940
Project Type: Expansion
Opening: 2007
Contractor: LD Systems
AD Scope: Audio, Video, Lighting
Friendswood Community recently expanded their existing 750-seat worship center to accommodate their explosive growth to 1,700 people attending Sunday morning worship services. In addition to the expansion of the main worship center, the church has added an adjacent building with children’s space on the first floor and youth space on the third.
In the interest of meeting an aggressive timeline requested by the church, Acoustic Dimensions worked alongside LD Systems in order to complete the project quickly. The technical systems renovations included a completely new self-powered line array loudspeaker system and digital console located at a portable control booth. The video system was updated to include new, brighter projectors and larger front projection screens. A new IMAG system including cameras, production switcher and shading station was installed to help people in the newly expanded worship center feel involved and connected. Revisions to the theatrical lighting system involved a new console and adjusting the existing infrastructure to allow for increase flexibility and proper lighting angles onto the stage. The loudspeaker system has made such a noticable improvement in the sound quality that the Church is determining whether or not to implement any of the acoustical recommendations.
Acoustic Dimensions is currently working with the church on the design for the technical systems in the Youth Room.
