Facility Tour: Hillsong Church
In 2007, our family went to Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia, for the Hillsong Conference. While we were there, we visited the church for their church services. It was a wonderful experience.
Hillsong had buses that would pick up people in the city and take them to the church. Apparently Australian bus regulations are quite different than American ones. We were crammed in there so much that we practically had our noses against the windshield! Or maybe that was another tour bus we were on… I kind of forget now, four years later…
The side of the bus advertised the conference that we were going to attend.
Here’s how the outside looked.
As we walked over we could see signs.
Another sign.
Apparently kids are a high value around there.
Here was the entrance but I didn’t go inside to take pictures.
I captured a blurry picture of the signage.
Here’s another sign, smaller but not so blurry.
I can’t remember where this was.
But perhaps it was close by this wall?
I do remember this sign though. It was outside the lobby.
Inside it looked like this. After the service we went up and they served tea and cookies and a very kind young lady chatted with us. Great people!
Here’s how the inside looked when we walked in.
Another view as I walked around.
The tech booth.
I was pretty impressed by their video technology. Even their announcements were all done in video.
The place filled up with people for the service.
There’s the band on the stage. I guess the screen can be split into three different screens or be one big one as a large widescreen.
And then there was a random chandelier above. I’m not sure as to the significance of that but I thought it was a pretty cool chandelier.
Out in the lobby, there was a window for information, I think. I can’t remember exactly.
This was the central information center. I think. Sorry I am not so sure of all these things as I am going by memory and never planned to post this up on a blog!
I thought the resource center was ultra cool.
This is blurry but it shows a view of the other side of the books. Bright and orderly!
There were tables situated throughout.
And also a really cool postcard stand. The postcards were for different ministries.
There was also a large banner above the lobby. I tried to take pictures of other tables but it was just too crowded. There were people everywhere. However, this picture did capture a really cool piece of glass or plastic artwork below.
We were not there very long because we had to catch the bus back. The rest of the week we were at the Hillsong Conference — one of the most amazing conferences I have ever been to, in one of the stadiums used in the Olympics for 5 days and 5 nights with 28,000 people. It was an experience I will remember for a lifetime!
