Sound System Changes are Coming! It’s been many decades since the current speakers were installed in the Sanctuary and there have been big advances in sound technology during that time. We’re working with one of the leading consultants in worship acoustics and are right now in the design stage of a project that will replace all the speakers and upgrade other parts of the Sanctuary sound system. Please bear with us; the end result will be clear and consistent sound in every part of the Sanctuary regardless of where you sit!
