AVL for ARC Churches

Know God. Find Freedom. Discover Purpose. Make a Difference.
That's your goal. That's our goal.

Our Approach

For more than 20 years MediaMerge has pursued our God-given Purpose - to equip the Church with the resources you need and to provide the technical expertise to execute your Vision.

Through this Purpose we make a difference. We are passionate about our Church partnerships because this isn't simply a job - it's our calling. You aren't our Customer or Client - you are our ministry partners.

We would love to partner with you to help accomplish your Next Steps.

What's Your Next Step?

Join Our Community

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a place to connect directly with other local church techs, worship leaders, audio engineers, lighting directors and video producers?

We've created exactly that. Check out the MediaMerge Community today. We're always better together.

What We Do

Audio Systems

Complete sound system design and installation including excellent loudspeaker coverage in an easy-to-use package.

Video Systems

Design and installation of LED walls, blended projection, distributed video and complete broadcast systems.

Lighting Systems

Turn-key lighting systems from basic front wash to concert-level production including house lighting and controls.

Our Design Process

Phase 1: Analysis

We start by Listening.

Ultimately, we want to build a relationship with you and your church, so we can partner together to bring solutions tailored specifically for your congregation.

What are your goals?
What are your challenges?
What is your vision?
What are your limitations?

Phase 2: Design

We assess the needs and challenges, and then we formulate a plan. We identify potential solutions. Then we put together a long-term strategy and submit a proposal.

Whether the solution is technical training or a systems overhaul, we design our recommendations specifically to your needs with your unique team in mind.

Phase 3: Proposal

We review the proposal with you. This is a two-way conversation, so we actively look for feedback. What questions do you have? What would you modify? What doesn't feel quite right?

Then we tweak and review again - as many times as it takes. We are committed to ensuring that you and your team feel educated and comfortable with each step of the process before moving forward to the next.

The Secret Sauce

Most people struggle to imagine everything in a proposal, and they need help visualizing the end result. Our goal is to help you SEE BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION.

MediaMerge solves this problem using the Envision 3D previsualization approach. Envision is a full-circle approach to showing potential clients exactly what they will be getting in an AVL setup by using traditional 2D blueprints and physical measurements of a space to develop a photorealistic 3D model. Before the first day of construction is even set on a calendar you can see what your facility will look like.
