3 KEY ASPECTS OF PRO LIGHTING
THE BREAKDOWN
Struggling with a dark and dull worship space? Andrew jumps in to help out by break down the key elements of pro lighting so your church can shine brighter, engage better, and enhance the experience both in-person and online.
3 Essential Lighting Upgrades to
Transform Your Worship Space
#1 | KEY LIGHTING
Key lighting ensures that people on stage are well-lit from both the front and back, eliminating awkward shadows and enhancing visibility for both in-person and online viewers.
✔️ Eliminates dark spots and harsh shadows.
✔️ Enhances facial expressions for better engagement.
✔️ Provides depth and separation from the background.
💡 Pro Tip: The congregation’s eyes will naturally be drawn to the brightest point in the room. Proper key lighting keeps the focus on the speaker and message.
#2 | HOUSE LIGHTING
Your house lights set the tone for your worship experience, but many churches still rely on residential-grade fixtures that weren’t designed for large spaces.
🚫 Low light output makes your space feel dark and uninspiring.
🚫 Limited control—just basic dimmers or wall switches.
🚫 Short lifespan and frequent maintenance headaches.
Why Upgrade to Pro-Grade House Lighting?
✔️ Consistent brightness that enhances the worship experience.
✔️ Seamless control from a central system—no more running to wall switches.
✔️ Lower maintenance costs with longer-lasting fixtures.
💡 Investment vs. Cost: Pro lighting means fewer burnt-out bulbs, no more rental lifts, and significant savings on long-term maintenance.
#3 | STAGE LIGHTING
Stage lighting is more than just brightness—it’s a creative tool that adds energy, depth, and flexibility to your space.
🎨 Add color and texture for dynamic environments.
🔄 Easily update the look for sermon series and special events—no set pieces required.
🎚️ Seamlessly integrate with your lighting console for real-time adjustments.
💡 Pro Tip: The right lighting removes distractions and enhances worship, making your message more impactful.

GET TO KNOW YOUR PARTNERS IN MINISTRY
CO-DA HOUSE OF WORSHIP
I am excited to meet and partner with churches as they advance in technology for worship. With over 40 years of experience in broadcast video, audio and lighting I continue to serve as the Broadcast Director at First Baptist Church Indian Trail and also Producer for the “Decision for Life” televised program. Serving the church is a great pleasure and working with volunteers is always fun. Helping churches mobilize and use the many forms of technology to share the gospel message is such a pleasure and a ministry in itself. So thankful for the great support given to me by my amazing wife Kathy and our great family.
ALAN CONNER | CO-DA WORSHIP DIRECTOR
I’m passionate about partnering with pastors and leaders of all backgrounds, providing them with the resources and support necessary to fulfill their ministry in alignment with God’s vision. With a background of 14 years as a Worship and Communications Pastor in the Charlotte region, I’ve been deeply involved in serving the local church. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Worship Ministry from Liberty University and a Master’s of Divinity from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. During my leisure hours, you’ll find me fishing, playing music, relishing the outdoors, and cherishing moments spent with friends!
