No matter what religion is being celebrated, a house of worship offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in a worship experience, surrounded by faith and fellowship. It’s a place for prayer, reflection and learning. For many, it can be challenging to forget the distractions of the outside world and direct their attention to the service, but audio, video and lighting can set the tone and let members of your congregation relax and live in the moment. That’s why lighting, video, and audio design for houses of worship is becoming a part of the experience.
A church sound, lighting and video system helps make the worship experience more interactive and engaging. Illuminated Integration creates custom audio, video and lighting packages for houses of worship and churches. We consider your needs and produce a system that fits your facility and congregation size. We also keep your church’s style in mind when designing a package.
In recent years, livestreams and virtual services have provided houses of worship with a way to reach even more people. Illuminated offers church livestream services to help you connect with worshippers, no matter where they are.
The right lighting allows the audience to see the rabbi, pastor, or congregation leader on the stage. It also highlights the choir, including any soloists. If your house of worship regularly stages dramas or skits, you need the right lighting to focus attention on the players.
Illuminated works with you to design and install a lighting system that works for your church. We’ll help you choose the right colors, intensity and coverage based on your layout and needs.
The worship leader’s voice shouldn’t echo throughout the auditorium, and the congregation shouldn’t struggle to hear the week’s message. Our acoustic design services help you choose the right materials and layout so everyone can hear the music and message, no matter where they are in the house of worship.
Acoustic design works with a house of worship’s audio system to create a clear and crisp service. Your church’s audio system is essential if you offer virtual services, too. People tuning in to your livestream need to hear what’s being said and sung.
Our audio design services include performance systems, which support sounds at all levels and allow your audience to hear what’s being said on stage; distributed audio systems, which allow you to make announcements across your building; and recording systems, which let you record your services, either for a livestream or later distribution.
Worried about worshippers dozing off during a message? Adding video to your services keeps things lively and creates a more engaging atmosphere. Illuminated works with houses of worship to create projection systems, LED walls and video walls to keep a church service fresh and engaging.
Video is also a must-have if you want to livestream your services or record them for posterity.
A church livestream allows you to reach a wider audience, including members who may be far-flung or unable to attend in person. If you want to set up a virtual church service, there are many factors to consider, from the sound quality to the video quality. We offer a customized livestreaming setup to help you grow your congregation and produce virtual services that are as engaging as in-person gatherings.

In places of worship, a quality lighting, video, and audio provides a noticeable difference, such as by:
Illuminated Integration has a long track record of revitalizing houses of worship and developing lighting, audio and video systems that work in their unique spaces.
At Calvary Baptist Church in Bel Air, Maryland, we installed ambient light-rejecting (ARL) screens, which work particularly well in the space due to its high ambient light level. ARL screens produce high-contrast imagery that is vivid and easy to see, even when the room isn’t dim. We also added new laser projectors, platform lighting and light controls at the church.
City Lights Church in Scranton, Pennsylvania, was looking for a simple-to-use system that allowed for future expansion. We designed an LED lighting and video system that includes DMX controls for flexibility.
Doylestown Presbyterian Church was looking for a way to record and stream its services. We installed a PTZ camera, streaming appliance and video switcher to allow them to do so.
Riverside Church in Fredericksburg, Virginia, was looking to replace its current lighting system, which was starting to fail. Illuminated designed a new system for the church that reduced electrical use and made the setup easier to control.
At Illuminated Integration, we understand the delicacy of integration design for places of worship. That’s why our team is always respectful of your needs and interested in learning about your vision and desires. It’s also why we ensure a seamless design-build experience, with our consultants overseeing every step, from design to installation.
