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!

Forward Conference Load-in!

I have to give a great shout out to Majestic Productions for their hard work and great team during load-in for this conference. They even set me up with the ultimate Pre-viz suite...complete with dual view 58" and ambient led lighting, so I could keep putting finishing touches on programming while they set up the rig!















Bringing it all to life! Everything in place, getting ready to rock this amazing rig! Love seeing designs go from an idea, to paper, to drawings, to visualizer, to real life! What a process, but worth it all!












The host Church, Free Chapel, thought it would be fun to add some lasers to the rig and give it a Rave type vibe! Lovin' the look so far!

Forward Conference Pre-Vis Programming

 
I love all the travel I get to do with my job - but it is nice working from home too sometimes! This week I get the opportunity to work with the MA console from the house, using visualizer technology! I can program the whole show from the comfort of my couch, and don't have to be gone from the family! My youngest, Levi, even got to design a couple cues of his own!





















 I can program and keep up with SportsCenter at the same time! #closetoHeaven!

 

 Even our Border Collie, Lucy, wanted in on some of the action! She wouldn't leave my side - guess the kids aren't the only ones who were happy I'm home!

 We are all getting very excited about this years design for Forward Conference at Gwinnett Arena! Can't wait to get in the room and see it really come to life!
 

Viper Family Demo

Excited to be hosting one of the first demos for Martin's new Viper Family Line! Thanks to Free Chapel for letting us use your venue for this event! Can't wait to light this rig up!! Hope to see you there!

REVIVAL at Free Chapel

 Excited for Free Chapel's expectation of Revival! The first service of the series was amazing and the Presence of the Lord was here from beginning to end!  I love doing lights for services like these because who knows which way the band will be led so it's fun to follow them while keeping the atmosphere for Revival!
