Looks great Dave! Thanks for sharing the struggles along the way. Things like these never seem to go exactly as planned but they always work out in the end!
I came for ideas on how to decorate the sanctuary for our celebration and came across this. While here I’m was like well I’d love new stage ideas because we’ve been looking for ideas, my bishop and team and it’s funny because over the last week our new stage used these balls with like red colors lol it’s our now newest stage we just didn’t t use as many panels!!! That’s so funny but you gained a new subscriber ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome, amazing 😎✨🤩 and cost effective too💡🤑. Really innovative, practical solutions for ministry aesthetic. Yahushua Barakha you Dave, Shalom. Wish you could send a team here in Kenya and start a Church building & Deco Consultancy. Who said the worship experience should be wack just because we are in "Developing economies 🏭"!!! God in the "Developed ⚙️🛸World" is the same in the "Developing 🌇World", don't you agree?
They are the Chauvet COLORband T3 BT. We like them because you can set them up into three different zones to make some color gradients across the set and they also don't flicker on video (which can be a problem with cheaper LED fixtures). amzn.to/30Tcvm0
This looks great! I think my production team is going to attempt something like this soon. I do have a quick question, though - are you hitting your panels from the floor and from above with your LED lights? Or just from the floor? I'm a little worried about getting enough light to cover the entire panel, and we'd be left with just some white balls near the top, hah. Awesome job, and great video!
Hey Matt! It’s all just up-lighting. Each panel has a color bar at the bottom pointing upwards. You can see-especially in the video thumbnail-there’s a hot spot towards the bottom section of each panel. But it does cover the entire panel. If you try this, send a few pics my way. I’d love to see it!
It does look very interesting, but I would have to ask this: what does this have to do with worship? I have noticed that many churches are leaning too much on visuals and mood setting devices rather than focusing on true worship. That is just my humble and largely unnecessary opinion.
I can understand that. But I think visuals and mood have always been part of the experience. It used to be stained glass windows, ornate wood and painted murals. Now it’s haze and moving lights. If used correctly (from stained glass to modern lighting), it can eliminate distractions and point people to Jesus. Used incorrectly, and it just becomes about the show.
There's a few photos at the end of the video around the 5:20 mark taken from Sunday morning worship. We just add some front lighting for singer and band positions and that's it.
Each panel has a Chauvet color bar at the bottom pointed up. It casts light on the panel itself but it also casts light onto the ceiling. There should be a link to the color bar we used in the video description...
You see these places and it's so clear to see that the whole council of God is not being preached and scripture is not being exposited. When the pure word of God is preached you have no need of light shows and will-worship rock concerts but for these goat entertainment centers they need all this garbage.
I'm writing what God told me about something else I used the phrase the modern church I didn't know it was a gay denomination and I know you won't say it is but I'm telling you the truth there's only one truth not yours not mine the word of God anyone and everyone that goes against the principles lay down and re-established by Christ will be separated from his love for eternity on that day and that day is getting real clear and real soon and I hope you don't think this is something new that's the same thing then over and over and over again
i used to prefer traditional design but The church im attending with the traditional design Is unfortunately DYing (quite literally because its mostly of the elder generation) and im on the promotional committee And Going to bring up in our meeting that we need to embrace the Contemporary/modern design Due to The SUn bleaching the carpets Below caused from a skylight that runs the length of the sanctuary there's flaws in both but i also appreciate both
Hey Steve... it sounds like your time at church left a bad taste in your mouth, (I’m reading between the lines) that maybe it felt more like a show than a genuine relationship with your Creator. I’m sorry that happened. I’d probably fee physically sick too if I was in your shoes...
@@practicalworship if you were in my shoes, you’d be able to comprehend how badly Christianity completely falls apart under heavy scrutiny and how silly the believers sound with their reasons for why they assume you left. Its quite the show...almost better than the show I helped put on in these churches. 😂
@@practicalworship it came up during a search of criticisms against the modern church which I find a curious topic. Reading the comments of pastors desperately looking for ideas to ‘keep up with the joneses’ to stay relevant is where the nausea ensued. Terms like ‘production team’. Just so gross. If god were real, he would find this absolutely disgusting.
The work took time, energy and passion. It stole my heart. I wish to visit your church so I can learn what I can take to my church.
You have to read about islam and im proud to be muslim
Your channel lits my fire!! This is pure gold Dave👍
Looks great Dave! Thanks for sharing the struggles along the way. Things like these never seem to go exactly as planned but they always work out in the end!
Thx Spencer!
I agree. It adds to your authenticity!
Good idea about wanting to reducing the Styrofoam Balls.... It is nice...
This is absolutely beautiful ❤
I''m very greatful I found this
Thank you so much building ours
Super Beautiful design

That’s fantastic. I bet it looks amazing! Welcome to the community.
Very nice work!
Karen here. Imitation of The glory of God
Looks awesome!
Thank you! Our creative team did an excellent job...
This is inspiring! Looks great.
Thx! What’s your favorite stage set you’ve ever done at your church?
Hello
This is inspiring! Looks great❤
Nice stage arrangements

It reminds me more of a night club than a church.
love it. well done
Great job! Looks great!
You can go ahead and send those over to STL when you're done with them.
You might have to fight our youth pastor. The plan is to repurpose then for the student ministry stage when we change the main stage set...
@@practicalworship fight fight fight!
I’ve got dibs!!!!
I really dig this idea!
Your current stage at your church looks great too!
Hey Dave. I appreciate this video very much. I would like to try out some of your ideas. God bless you in your ministry. Thanks for sharing.
I really like this, Dave! Great work
Great Idea
Very creative and interesting
Hi... Great design, but I kind of don't understand how you lit the board. Can you please help?
Hey Dave I like this we’re working on ours. How much space between the half circle balls?
Good evening sir. Thanks for video. How can you help with the details of the purchase of the styrofoam. Cost and stores.
Love your channel and newly subscribed. All I could think of with the styrofoam balls were Daleks from Doctor Who :D
Ha! That's awesome...
It looks like a bar!
Stage? SET? what are you describing a church or a theater
How did you do your lights? What kind and how where did you place them. Thinking about putting some up in our church. Thank you so much.
That guy at 2:07 kinda cool not gunna lie
My wife would agree, son... 🤓
@@practicalworship how can i get this ball
Nice.
How many 3” balls are needed for 4’x8’? What is the spacing that you used?
I love this! Way to go guys.
💜💜
What LED lights did you have lighting the stage at the bottom of the boards
They are the Chauvet COLORband T3 BT. We like them because you can set them up into three different zones to make some color gradients across the set and they also don't flicker on video (which can be a problem with cheaper LED fixtures). amzn.to/30Tcvm0
WILL THIS BE EFFECTIVE IN THE SUNLIGHT
Where do one get the white foams from

@@practicalworship Thanks so much! I definitely will send pictures your way if we try it.
How much did this cost?
Where’d you get your office shelf!? I’ve been searching for something similar
Elizabeth Warf I think it was from Amazon. Email me through my website (link on the channel page banner), and I can send you a link...
I would u to help on the link of Amazon or help me with the name of those white ball materials your using that looks like bulb
Hey guess what there a new propresenter that came out yesterday
Just search "two platforms one pro" there is a video you should watch whenever you have the chance to
Whoever is building this, next time doing vertical and use a projector with a grid for perfect alignment.
Were you able to purchase half balls or did you have to cut them in half?
We purchased them as half balls. There should be a link in the video description to where we purchased them...
you can also purchase half styrofoam balls from the stationary dept at your local walmart.
the ink for the balls does not work. @@practicalworship
What the size of styrofoam balls?
What kind of light was used to lightup the boards
Chauvet colorband
It does look very interesting, but I would have to ask this: what does this have to do with worship? I have noticed that many churches are leaning too much on visuals and mood setting devices rather than focusing on true worship. That is just my humble and largely unnecessary opinion.

If used correctly (from stained glass to modern lighting), it can eliminate distractions and point people to Jesus. Used incorrectly, and it just becomes about the show.
Just appreciate the project. Thank God for this new innovation.
What does it look like in the morning worship?
There's a few photos at the end of the video around the 5:20 mark taken from Sunday morning worship. We just add some front lighting for singer and band positions and that's it.
Out of curiosity. How many balls did the 8 ft panel need
Luan and 1/4 ply are different things fyi
Where do you place the lights that make them shines like this?
Each panel has a Chauvet color bar at the bottom pointed up. It casts light on the panel itself but it also casts light onto the ceiling. There should be a link to the color bar we used in the video description...
hey Dave hows your treatment going?
Do you have a link for the display that is 16 feet tall?
The displays that say "Welcome" in the thumbnail photo? Those are just screens and 20-year-old SD projectors...
Modern...
Pls Build A Church For us Iam From Indian Serving God From 20 Years
Классс!!!
Dave I need help please
Worldly churches... looks like a concert halls? Church of laodecia... giving people what they like.

To each their own, but I'm not a fan. I still prefer more traditional stage design.
That's fair.
i used to prefer traditional design but The church im attending with the traditional design Is unfortunately DYing (quite literally because its mostly of the elder generation) and im on the promotional committee And Going to bring up in our meeting that we need to embrace the Contemporary/modern design Due to The SUn bleaching the carpets Below caused from a skylight that runs the length of the sanctuary there's flaws in both but i also appreciate both
Silly man, churches don't have stages.
Im a former Christian and my last few years were spent in churches with ‘production teams, etc’. This video made me physically sick.
Hey Steve... it sounds like your time at church left a bad taste in your mouth, (I’m reading between the lines) that maybe it felt more like a show than a genuine relationship with your Creator. I’m sorry that happened. I’d probably fee physically sick too if I was in your shoes...

So why did you watch this video?

Well, regardless, I appreciate you watching. I stand by what I said... I’m sorry the church disappointed you
Hmmmmm...... Looks like a night club.
