Hosting Small Group at Your House with a $6M Home Theatre!
This has got to be the most expensive (and ridiculous) Home Theatre system ever…! It’s a whopping $6,000,000 dollar investment and I’m sure it’s worth every penny. If you’ve been having trouble getting up the courage to invite people to your home for small group or bible study then perhaps you simply haven’t invested the [...]

The Moyers Group, Audio Visual Environments
One of the neatest things that I had the pleasure of doing at the Drive Conference was meet a handful of talented builders, architectural, and audio-visual organizations that are passionate about creating church and ministry environments.
