Here is a video demonstrating how we set up a movie theater for worship each week. The entire process takes about 45 minutes to set up and about 15 minutes to tear down and pack away. One to two people set up the kids classrooms, the outer hallways and outdoor signs, while the worship band and audio/visual teams set up the main worship area.

Hope this gives you some ideas for transforming similar spaces for worship! I welcome your comments and suggestions for improving our system.

First Sunday at Carmike

We finally arrived at Carmike for worship! Everyone gathered in one theater to celebrate. David Martin, of www.ontrackministries.org , was our guest speaker, in keeping with our current series, The Amazing Race.

Next week we start kids connection classes in their own theaters.

This is also a great time to evaluate and recalibrate all we are doing. This isn't just a location and equipment upgrade. We are all revisiting the vision and purposes God gave us for St Joe. I look forward to a summer of growth, both within those we have already reached, and in attendance as new people discover St Joe, now worshipping in an easy to find worship location.

What a humbling opportunity...
