The entire Audio/Video/Lighting (A/V/L) System shows up in a trailer along with the Childrens ministry, Hospitality, Bookstore, and check in Kiosk. Every Sunday the various systems are set up and the packed back up to be rolled away to a midweek storage facility. The A/V/L was designed with quick set up and strike (tear down) in mind. A lot of the technology in use to make this possible is the same as what is used everyday in the concert industry, from roadcases, to multipin disconnects on the snakes. The set up, after two training’s/run throughs, takes a crew of 8 about 30 minutes to set up, and about 20 minutes to tear down and pack back into the trailer.
