30 Apr Church Zone
Church Zone has learned over the past decade by listening, watching and partnering with top ministries to understand what it takes to resurrect a sanctuary and grow a ministry like never before. Our design team combines a broadcast background, art directing for premiere television productions, with fine arts training from top Universities and a passion for sacred spaces and the energy and emotion they convey. When asking “Why Us?” the answer is simple;
- We offer your ministry a visual transformation, with the technology and focus to captivate your audience in-sanctuary, on-air and online.
- We provide robust solutions designed for visual impact, flexibility and that work within your budget.
- We deliver design and broadcast strategies that set your ministry apart and enhance your ability to connect like never before, so that you succeed and grow.
“Chuck and his team understand how to fit out sacred spaces for modern worshippers. I highly recommend this talented team of craftsmen.”
— Rev. David D. Ireland, Ph.D.; Author/Senior Pastor – Christ Church
Broadcast Ready Sanctuaries
Our passion for sacred spaces and love of tradition, combined with our understanding of the demands of broadcast design and modern staging, sets us apart from our competition. We can offer everything from a a classic sanctuary feel and look to a contemporary multimedia stage, or something in-between. The reason is we come from a background of archetectural and arts training, broadcast set and exhibit design and rock concert art direction, staging and lighting. We understand how to make an impact on the screen and in-person that appeals to all types of audiences, both young and old.
Church Zone takes you from concept through construction, integrating the needs of lighting design, audio engineering and video production with the atmosphere your audience expects from a sanctuary. We deliver a broadcast quality look that still provides a sacred impact and feel, even when the spotlights and big screens are turned off. Whether it is a brand new campus or retrofitting an existing facility, our “on-air” experience sets us apart when it comes to incorporating the tremendous technical demands required for a true “broadcast ready sanctuary”. While we have talented and experienced technicians and engineers on our team, first and foremost we are creative artists and designers who go way beyond colored lights and projected videos when customizing a solution that meets your vision and budget.
“Who could take a dingy dark, and dank warehouse and turn it into a cutting edge relevant worship center other than Church Zone! Church Zone are a highly trained, vision focussed and certainly innovative group of individuals committed to the end result.”
— Jasper W. Williams, III, Th. M.; Pastor/Founder – The Church
Custom Podiums
Custom furniture that is thematically cohesive with sanctuary design helps a ministry really stand out. Classic lines, rich woods, broadcast colors and logos all combine to represent your ministry both in-sanctuary and on-air. Your place of worship should reflect your values and help brand your church to all audiences. Church Zone and its sister organization, Podest offer custom designed and hand-built church furnishings and interiors that are truly unique. After understanding your needs our team presents design renderings that allow you to visualise your vision, translated into furniture, directly in your sanctuary setting. We detail all materials, dimensions and views in our drawing package, then our craftsmen fabricate your custom furniture specifically for you.
Custom Backgrounds
Updating a ministry campus for special events, youth ministry and giving campaigns can be greatly enhanced with a custom background. Whether it is a rental for a short term setting or a custom creation for a permanent installation, custom backgrounds can be a cost effective way to make a big impact. Church Zone and its sister organization, C&M Backdrops are the leading custom and rental background provider in the southeast, serving both ministry and broadcast needs. Choose from our large rental inventory or work with our design team to create and install your custom background for your specific needs.
“God blessed our building project tremendously by connecting us to Church Zone! Their very talented staff was able to take our ideas and mold them into a very realistic and workable design that got rave reviews from all who visited.”
— Andra D. Sparks; Senior Pastor – Forty-fifth Street Baptist Church
Media Streaming
In modern worship, great design needs to include lighting, audio and video capabilities with an effective online strategy in order to really grow your ministry like never before. The power of media to capture an audience in-sanctuary, on-air and online is obvious. Using that power to deliver your message as efficiently and effectively as possible is the goal. Church Zone offers design integration and strategic media planning and development through its partner organization, Media Stream Pro. This includes live and on-demand video to cost-effectively build relationships with your physical and virtual audience, combined with website development, multi-platform delivery, social media planning and targeted communications to leverage your audience growth and connect them through relevant and timely information, wherever they are. If you really want to be “broadcast ready” you need to develop and grow your audience’s media planning and development as a part of your overall strategy.
