“Zionsville Fellowship Church is a unique congregation in many ways. Their facility required approx. 900 seats in a mildly sloped stadium type seating with deep rows to allow for their unique style of communion distribution. But the most unique aspect, acoustically speaking, is in their usage of their sanctuary space.
They not only incorporate a contemporary band, praise team, choir, and organ into their service, but they also have a very special 'sharing time'. At this time, any member of the congregation can verbally offer thoughts or other inspirational messages to the rest of the members (unamplified from where they are seated or standing); and the congregation must be able to hear them! After intense computer modeling of many possible variations of the space, the acceptable room geometry was determined. We then contacted Peter D'Antonio at RPG Diffusor Systems, Inc. in order to provide some form of much needed diffusive elements for the ceiling. The resulting custom Waveform™ ceiling modules along with Binary Amplitude Diffsorbor™ units behind a stretched fabric wall system, provided the required diffusion and absorption for this space. We have never received as many compliments in attaining a client’s difficult requirements as this project. RPG was an invaluable team member of this very successful project."

“It has been a very good and gratifying experience for Zionsville Fellowship to have had dBA Acoustics, Ft. Wayne, IN involved in the planning of our new church facilities in Zionsville. We extend many thanks for your help. Our first Sunday in the building went off without a hitch and the acoustics were what we had hoped for. As we come to the end of the construction phase, we now enter into a time of celebration. “

Architect/Builder (FBi Buildings, Inc.)

2D Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (FRG) Waveform panels on sanctuary ceiling provide omnidirectional diffusion, which provides ambiance and support for congregations responses and singing.

The sanctuary acoustical design was painstakingly analyzed to ensure that it worked with Zionsville Fellowship's worship style. The finished room worked even better than expected, allowing everyone to hear as people throughout the large sanctuary offer spontaneous prayers and comments - without the aid of electronic amplification. "It just works!" says Patty Blakley, building committee member. Like the rest of the church, she is "...so thankful... to have a facility designed for the way we do ministry...."
