St. Mark’s, Coventry, is a city centre church that was planted by Holy Trinity Brompton; a sister church to, and resourced out of, Gas Street Church in Birmingham. St. Mark’s had been used for many years as a medical centre, so the transformation of the building back into a church has been a huge undertaking for the team.

​

NoiseBoys were appointed by St. Mark's to supply all sound, lighting, and video for the church, as well as to partner with them over the longer term to offer both internal and external training as they seek to be a resourcing church for the region.

​

Equipment supplied included an Allen & Heath dLive at the centre of the sound system, with a Dante network handling the sound feeds around the building. A multitude of network points around the church allows the band, visuals, lighting and control desks to be plugged in anywhere with just a handful of reconnections, meaning that the team can do church ‘in the round’ one week, and in the traditional East-West format the next.

​

Because the layout of church services and other events changes regularly, we designed the visuals system for song words, videos, and presentations around four large LED screens rather than a fixed-projection system. Each screen is mounted at the top of a pillar on an articulating arm to allow them to be used in multiple orientations, giving this exciting church all the flexibility it could need as it grows.
