From its founding in 1990 by Pastor Ed Young, Grapevine, Texas’ Fellowship Church has unswervingly focused on helping people “discover real answers for real life.” After more than three decades of growing its community of faith across multiple regional campuses and online, the church has upgraded the audio infrastructure of its main 4,200-seat worship auditorium with two DiGiCo Quantum338 digital mixing consoles, supplied by systems integrator Clark, which are now being utilized at Fellowship’s FOH and monitor mix positions.
For Fellowship Church, production technology exists for one purpose—enabling people to clearly hear life-changing truths—and behind the scenes, the new audio control surfaces support that goal. “Our role is simple,” says a member of the church’s production leadership team. “We want to remove anything that distracts people from hearing God’s Word and engaging in worship. Here at Fellowship, production is not about spectacle; it is about removing distractions. When technology works the way it should, it disappears. And what remains is every microphone, every instrument, and every element of the service working together to create a meaningful worship experience.”
A key component of that approach rest on clarity, and, powered by DiGiCo’s Quantum processing engine, the new consoles deftly manage large input counts while maintaining clarity and consistency across all of Fellowship’s services. “The clarity is incredible,” the team shares. “It keeps the attention where it belongs: on the message and on worship.”
Ease of use was also cited as another benefit, as Fellowship Church depends on a strong culture of volunteers. Engineers, musicians, and technicians serve together each week, and the system needed to be powerful but simple to operate. “The DiGiCo interface is fast and intuitive,” the team explains. “That allows our volunteers and staff to focus on serving people rather than managing technology.”
The recent console upgrade reflects a philosophy that has shaped Fellowship Church from its start, which is that excellence should serve the mission. “Pastor Ed Young often reminds the congregation that the church exists to help people discover hope in Christ and apply Biblical truths to everyday life. Technology simply helps deliver that message clearly. As Fellowship Church continues to grow, our new DiGiCo Quantum338 consoles will provide a strong foundation for the future while supporting the church’s commitment to helping people encounter God and His timeless truths.”
