One of my lighting volunteers dreamed this up and I spent half a day buying parts (four Home Depots and one Lowes). The parts are PVC, Coroplast panels, and some greenhouse roofing materials. Then we spent one day putting it up and lighting it.

Slick looking staging and lighting. What is the Pastor’s sermon series? Is there a theme?
The set looks awesome. I was wondering the same thing as Bill.
There is no theme….just a great volunteer with a wonderful idea. He is one of our lighting techs that volunteers.
I work with Brian Davis and just returned from vacation to view this design. Our new series is on ‘Live Out’ – Missional Living.
Our Senior Pastor is Gary Brandenburg.
Holy smokes that is sweet!!
We are in a series called “Live Out”. It’s about
missional living. This set is not really themed for the series. Our
pastor doesn’t always want a strategic set design, but he does want the
DIFFERENT between series. We’re thinking we could get a lot of use out
of this set, and maybe simplify it with just the 4 front trusses, and a
4X8 sheet of Coroplast hanging vertically between each of the trusses. I
paid about $600 for the parts, and we paid our volunteer $500 for
dreaming it up and executing it.
We don’t always pay for this type of thing, but our church just had two
funerals in two weeks. One of them had over 1,300 people in attendance.
So we had a lot going on – no time really to give to the needed set
design, and this was well in the category of “Above and Beyond”.
I LOVE your stage, I will like to do this at my church if is ok with you? can you send me your design and the step by step on you made this happen. Thank You
FREAKIN’ SWEET!
Ok. So i just came to a church in Houston and we have an amazing student building. However our stage is lacking design. I would love some ideas on cheap do-it-yourself stage design. Can you point me in the direction of some info or resources that may help?

I thought i posted. I guess not.
This a is tight set…
How cool and love the details…
In case you are still interested we’ve started a group on flickr specifically to share stage/set designs and experiential worship design elements for churches. Would love to have you share your designs.

That’s a pretty awesome looking set. I especially like the different lighting. Would those diagonol ladders support a full weight person? Because if I ever visited the set the first thing I would try to do is climb on those.
I love the set design! I work with young kids and like to change things up. Working on Christmas play with a manger scene setting, but would love to pump up the surrounding walls. Do you have any ideas? and could you give a simple girl the names of all materials used and place to buy them. I like to keep things low cost but I know you get what you buy.
What an inspiration! My church is doing a series called 180 degrees any thoughts on a reflective non stationary design.
Love this. We are doing a series in a couple of months, at my church, called Ultimate Success. We decided on putting ladders on the back stage wall, going to different heights. Leading up to Flat screen TV’s displaying sermon notes, etc. This looks so simular to what we have in mind.
Very inspirational. I might try something like that for our stage design.
My worship minister loves this set. You would not have a parts list? Some I have figured out, but am not sure what the large semi-transparent square sheets are.
The large transparent sheets are Coroplast. You can find out about it at http://www.coroplast.com/
Everything else was PVC parts and chain that we picked up at home depot. We painted the pvc truss pieces with aluminum paint. I’m not at thst church anymore, but As I recall, we spent about $800 on this set, which was more than we usually would. We kept it up for a while, and also they have re-used parts of it to make similar sets in that same room and in other rooms in the facility, so the money was well used and they got a lot of bang for the buck.
hi its nice…. can i see more stage pics
