BAF Multi-Site Worship Tour
Bay Area Fellowship Alice Is Ready!
It’s been a lot of hard work, but BAFA is up and running. We had a “practice service” yesterday (Aug. 9) and it was great. The core group of about 50 people showed up and there was an overwhelming sense of great things to come by everyone. It was very cool. The musicians did a great job and the audio/video guys did too. This is of course a temporary location until we run out of room. When we do, we’ll do it all over again on a bigger scale. God is good.
Building a Multi Site Worship Team from Scratch – Update II
Our next multi-site campus is coming along nicely in Alice, Tx which is approx. 35 miles away from our central campus (Bay Area Fellowship-Corpus Christi). It looks like we should be in there around mid – July. Fortunately, I’ve met some great people out there who have a worship band and are interested in sharing their talents with us @ B.A.F.A. There are also others, who aren’t in that band, who are interested as well so I will begin auditions during the 1st week of services. Man, what a relief! I seriously didn’t know what I was gonna do and was kinda stressed, but God has provided (just like He promises He will). I’ve always said, this is God’s work and He’s gonna get it done with or without us. So, why stress about it.
We are going to have to do some of the build out of the new facility. Sometimes this can be a huge undertaking but thankfully, we’ve got a great core group in Alice that’s willing to help with the rest (floor, temporary walls, etc.). As far as audio/video goes, we will most likely begin the install next week.
The auditorium part of the facility is not very big so the audio/video install will be minimal. We’ll be using a couple of 15″ JBL EON’s that will be flown, a couple of JBL 12″ monitors, Crown Pwr Amp, dbx eq’s, Allen & Heath MixWizard 16 & a dbx driverack. Video is through a Panasonic projector that will be shot on the wall behind the stage. It will be in an area of the wall that will be painted with screen paint. Media will be handled through an iMac via ProPresenter.
Because of the small space and high ceilings, my plan is to do all music unplugged with a couple of acoustics, percussion, bass and 2 or 3 vocalists. This is of course until we move into the bigger facility next door, at which time we will go with a full band and full instrumentation. I’m very excited to see everything come together and I know it’s gonna be awesome.
