The Sound Ministry

.......Our sound engineers are trained in the theory of live sound engineering, and must be capable of running a state of the art 48,000 watt way surround sound system. There are two 44 channel, 12 bus mixing Soundcraft consoles on the platform and house, as well as sending dry sound to the multimedia recording studio. Outside of the auditorium we send the mix to over 150 speakers so no matter where you are you on the campus you hear the service.

Bring on The Light

The purpose of the Lighting Department is to supply the proper lighting for all services held within the East Valley Pentecostal Church. Though unseen, this ministry will literally light the way for all events held under the EVPC church facility. This is an ever-growing part of the Technical Department and will prove to be a vital asset to this organization.

.....Our lighting technicians operate a state of the art Leprecon theatrical lighting system which consists of 62 fixtures, controlled through a 250 channel lighting console. We use theatrical lighting throughout our services to enhance visibility and effects for choirs, groups, and concerts.

.....Our most recent addition to our lighting Department has been our Jands HOG 500 lighting console. The HOG offers a range of powerful features. This lighting console offers logical, quick programming and playback, without confusing function names. The HOG 500 can handle any combination of fixtures, moving or static, with moving lights as simple to program as conventional fixtures. The configuration of the desk makes programming a snap, with preset groups and focuses at your fingertips in a series of menu blanks. Liquid Crystal Displays provide continuous feedback on programming and playback status. The flexibility and functional range of the HOG 500 makes it ideal for handling the entire spectrum of lighting design, from complex to theatrical dramas, to structured church services and events.

.....The Jands HOG 500 currently operates six Coemar Intelligent lighting fixtures, and two Roscoe Delta 3000 fog machines. The Coemar Intelligent lighting fixtures include 360 degree panning and 180 degree tilting operation, two separate color wheels per fixture, and two separate gobo wheels per fixture. Each fixture is designed to give the sanctuary full lighted motion, sixteen colors, sixteen lighted pattern designs, and full control of focus, iris capacity, and a number of sequenced lighting effects. The end result is fantastic lighting effects for dramas, special events, and a nice controlled setting for church services!

The Presentation Media

.......The use of presentation media in the church sanctuary allows the EVPC music leaders and pastoral staff to connect with the congregation on a higher level. Many people consider themselves visual learners, even more then verbal. Another application point is as a supplement to those who use sign language to translate the singing and sermon for the hearing impaired. It is our belief that this ministry is becoming an indispensable part of the EVPC experience.

.......As far as hardware, we are using a 3,000 ansi lumens LCD video projector on a 16 ft. wide (Daylight) motorized screen high speed digital data transfer cable (cat-five). Also, we use multiple computers for graphics' and text, along with Digital Juice graphics' suit for the full motion video. Most announcements are created using Macromedia Flash.
