OK, so begins Day Two of my Dallas adventure. After a great breakfast at my hotel, and catching a little of the FOX News coverage of the announcement of my new girlfriend, Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate, I was off to Fellowship Bible Dallas, to meet my new friend, Brian Davis.
This was simply one of the coolest places I've ever been. They converted an entertainment complex into their worship facility, and the transformation is amazing!
The first three pics come from the first floor. This is their coffee shop. I'm not sure what this was before, but the result works for me...
This is one of their children's rooms. The entire children's facility was once a laser tag arcade. Nice.
This was once "Club 88" which was owned by Drew Pearson, who played for the Dallas Cowboys from 1937-1983. There was even a big backlit 88 in the dance floor. It had a commercial kitchen, so they decided to make it their fellowship hall.
OK, that was all on the first floor. On the second floor was a movie theater complex. There were four rooms on one side and three on the other. One side comprises their youth facility, and the other is a chapel and their auditorium. Their auditorium is actually three movie theaters all combined into one large, yet surprisingly intimate worship space.
The third floor was just workspace for the projector rooms, plus catwalk for the complex. They took out the ceilings and converted it all into usable space. Their media facility is actually in two of the old projection rooms. How cool is that? This is the view of the second floor from one of those now-exposed catwalks.
And here I am with Brian. He's a really talented guy, and a great new friend.
Fellowship Bible was a really cool place. It was neat to see how they retrofitted their design into the space that was there before them. Great job!
OK, tomorrow, I'll post about meeting the two main guys from (and my tour of) Worship House Media.
