grandMA in Church in Singapore
Megachurches are becoming more popular in many regions of the world. Two of them, the City Harvest Church and the Grace Assembly Church in Singapore are extraordinary examples of these outstanding buildings. And to have outstanding lighting, the two churches rely on MA technology. The City Harvest Church uses a grandMA full-size, the Grace Assembly Church a grandMA micro.
The consoles were applied to control conventional fixtures as well as moving lights and are ready to integrate video at a later stage. William Ng of City Harvest church points out: “I got to know grandMA in the US. The possibilities and the powerful performance were very impressive. Back home the recommendation of DeSisti Asia, which offered comprehensive project support, and their after-sales service convinced us to invest in MA technology.”
City Harvest Church is a Megachurch that serves as the centre for related churches based in Singapore and is the largest church building in the city. It was founded by Kong Hee with 20 other people in 1989. In November 2001, the church moved to its new premises at Jurong West Street 91 and has claimed that it is the world's ‘deepest’ church with four storeys above ground and four basements. The auditorium covers 1,700 square metres, seats up to 2,000 members and is possibly the largest column-free church hall in the Southeast Asia. It is also the first titanium-clad building on the continent and is modelled after the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.
