ABSTRACT

In Celebratory church we have sacred space where every element is there to provide a context for the celebration of the Eucharist. In the Evangelical church, the Word is preeminent and the acoustics must be optimized for intelligibility. In the Experiential church it is the total experience that informs the acoustic and sound system choices. Finally, in the Community style of worship it is most important that the congregation needs to be able to hear themselves and feel as though they are a part of the whole.
