As we get closer to move-in day for our new building there are lots of things that we are preparing for. A couple of the major changes will be the format of when and how we do services at Foothills in the new building.For this post I want to address the "when" question.
One of the major changes will involve the times of the services. By necessity, because of our growth we have continued to add services over the years. As most of you know we currently offer 4 services on Sundays (8:30am,9:45am,11:15am and 6:00pm.) The reason we have these options is because we ran out of room at the two prime times (9:45 and 11:15). When we go into our new building we will begin with 2 service times because we will have a lot of room in the prime times again. We will Probably offer services at 9:30am and 11:15am. We realize that there are some people that come to the 8:30am or 6:00pm service because it's the only service they can attend. We apologize for any inconvenience to you. But for the majority, they come to those services by choice rather than necessity.
As you can imagine it takes an amazing amount of energy and resources to do 4 services every Sunday, so by going back to 2 service times it makes sense from a resource standpoint.
As these two services get filled up, we will offer additional services at the same times (9:30 and 11:15) where we will simulcast the message to our current auditorium. Everything else will be live, including the music, etc. Essentially by doing this, between our current auditorium and our new auditorium it will give us about 1,600 seats per service. which means for the 2 prime times we would have 3,200 seats available. Not too shabby!
