A Faith Church Christmas

Christmas is coming and I am always excited to visit the beautiful city of St. Louis, MO and the great people at Faith Church there! I truly enjoy the times I get to come in and help program and set the stage for their always over-the-top Christmas production! This year it really did feel like Christmas since while I was there St. Louis got hit with 6 inches of snow! This GA boy was feeling a little out of his element! However, the show must go on and the wonderful pastors and volunteers kept me safe and warm during my first winter wonderland of the season!

Royal Dreams Women's Conference

Well, going into this weekend I wasn't really sure about how I felt being stuck in a room full of thousands of ladies at the first ever Women's Conference hosted by Free Chapel in Gainesville, Ga! But I must admit, those ladies definitely know how to have fun! The stage got decked out with the giant pearls pictured and beautiful hand made oversized flowers. It was definitely the most girly stage I've ever lit but it turned out absolutely amazing and my hat goes off to the Free Chapel team for coming up with the design.

 

And of course you can't have a Women's Conference without a ton of confetti falling from the skies! Confetti Canons are always a hit with the crowd, probably not so fun for the cleaning crew though...  

 

Moving Forward Pastors Conference

 

 
 



 
 

This was the first year I've had the privilege of lighting the Moving Forward Pastors and Leaders Conference hosted by the Church for the Nations in Phoenix, Arizona. (wow, that was a mouthful)! We rented a few extra lights to fill the room and had an amazing weekend of worship and teaching. I always feel so welcome whenever I visit this Church and am humbled by their top notch hospitality and welcoming staff. It is always a pleasure and I am looking forward to many more events at Church for the Nations!  

LOVE CAN use social media for good!

I love how Social Media can be used for good! Central Church, Las Vegas, found me on Instagram and contacted me to help design and light this outstanding one day event! We had a lot of preparation leading up to show time including full stage design drawings, pre-visualization computer based programming from my headquarters in Atlanta, then putting it all to real-life in the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas for this one off event!

 

The room was packed and everything went off without a hitch! I am so thankful I got to play a role in this outstanding event and can't wait to see my new Las Vegas friends again soon!

So excited to be a part of the Deeper Conference "Surrendered Ones" hosted by Israel Houghton! I've been lighting this conference for a couple of years now and it is always powerful! I love working with such inspiring musicians, getting to be creative is easy when the stage is set with this talented team.

This year was very cool as I got to light worshipers from around the world at the conference. There were many world-wide groups here and they brought a multi-lingual and international flavor to the conference! Incredible!

Redemption Point is on the Move!

So excited to be a part of this project as Redemption Point of Chattanooga, TN is moving and expanding into a new, larger building! This multi-campus Church, pastored by Bishop Kevin Wallace, has been growing in numbers and is preparing to step into bigger and brighter services for its congregation! mattlights has been contracted to do a full AVL package and we are excited to see it all coming together!








The newly renovated building is coming along beautifully and our team has been hard at work preparing them for opening day! The first service in the new building will be held August 3rd! To God be the Glory!

Forward Youth Conference

Wow! What a blessing to be a part of such an amazing conference! So many lives changed as Free Chapel's annual youth conference sold out the 13,000+ Gwinnett Arena outside of Atlanta, GA.




Thanks to Michael Henson for his help in the design process, and Majestic Productions for supplying the gear and bringing it all to life!

















Pyrotecnico did an awesome job handling the lasers that really made it all pop! A great and tasteful way to compliment all these lighting fixtures!











Also, a huge thanks to Bryan of Bryan Scott Photography for some amazing pictures to share with the world!
