Lighthouse Church renewal with AVLX and Elation

When Lighthouse Church’s main building laid in ruins after Hurricane Michael ripped through Panama City Beach, Florida, in October 2018, parishioners were forced to meet in the church’s children’s building until a more suitable space was found. That new location, a former theater that was gutted and extensively renovated into a new campus and Worship Center, opened in early June of this year.

Production and systems integration firm AVLX of Franklin, Tennessee, was called on to design and install audio, video and lighting systems for the new church campus and turned to an all Elation rig featuring Fuze Series luminaires. AVLX system designer Joey Riggins completed the full system designs with AVLX’s Erik Parker handling lighting design for the Worship Center stage.

“We designed a package that gave them a variety of washes, beams and battens, plus house pendant lights. We went heavy on the Fuze series”, says Riggins. “The creative use of dynamic house lights can reinforce the service and engage the audience to participate in the experience. And of course, they also raise the aesthetic of a space.” With that in mind, 52 Fuze Pendant downlighting fixtures were installed over the seating at Lighthouse Church.

Having previously specified Fuze series luminaires for churches closer to home in Nashville, AVLX again turned to the series for Lighthouse’s sanctuary stage, the focal point of the 850-seat space. Mounted above the stage on a pipe grid are 6 Fuze SFX Spot FX moving heads, 6 Fuze Wash Z350 PAR moving heads, and 11 Fuze PAR Z175. Ten SixBar 1000 color changing battens add wash looks from a floor position while 12 WW Profile HP ellipsoidals work from positions at FOH.

With new entertainment technology systems, Lighthouse Church’s Worship Center operates as a venue that can serve a variety of needs - live broadcast, special event, conference, play, or concert - as well as the ministry’s weekly services.
