Spike Foley, Trinity’s Audio Engineer -

I AM AN AUDIO ENGINEER, OWNER OF "SOUND ON SITE ARIZONA”. I HAVE BEEN A WORKING SOUND-MAN AND MUSICIAN FOR 40+ YEARS. IN 2009 I WAS HIRED TO INSTALL NEW AUDIO GEAR IN THE SANCTUARY AT TRINITY. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER VISITED THIS CHURCH. I LOVED THE ROOM AS SOON AS I HEARD IT…..THE ACOUSTICS WERE BEAUTIFUL. I MET WITH THE A/V TEAM AND ATTENDED A FEW SUNDAY SERVICES TO SUPPORT AND ASSIST THEM WITH THE NEW SOUND SYSTEM…… MY BUSINESS AGREEMENT WAS FOR 3 WEEKS.

IN 3 WEEKS THE A/V TEAM WAS COMFORTABLE WITH THE NEW SYSTEM….

MY JOB WAS DONE….

I CAME BACK THE 4TH WEEK…..

JUST TO SIT AND LISTEN….

I LIKED IT HERE….

SUNDAY MORNING CHURCH MUSIC…..

BIG ORGAN ….CHOIR…..SINGING CONGREGATION…..

THE PEOPLE WERE VERY WELCOMING AND OUTGOING AND CHEERFUL….

THERE WAS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND FAMILY….

I WAS GREETED BY MEMBERS WHO SHOOK MY HAND…..

LOOKED ME IN THE EYE……

AND SAID " WELCOME"....

"IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU HERE”…..

"NICE TO MEET YOU"......

AND I SAW IN THEIR EYES THAT THEY REALLY MEANT IT…….

THESE PEOPLE DON’T JUST TALK “CHRISTIAN”…..

THEY DO “CHRISTIAN”……

WHEN I WALK INTO THIS CHURCH I FEEL SAFE, WELCOMED AND LOVED…..

IT FEELS LIKE HOME….

MY AGREEMENT WAS FOR 3 WEEKS IN 2009…..

I’M STILL HERE…..
