Passion City Church

Today (Sunday) I had the incredible experience of going to Passion City Church at the Tabernacle. We walked there from Tech and got there at about 6, even though it didnt start until 7. We waited in line for about an hour in the cold, but it was worth it. We ended up getting great seats in the balcony and you could feel the excitement in the air. Chris Tomlin & Co. came out and led worship (it was all tomlin songs, of course). Then Louie Giglio spoke about the history of the tabernacle and why they were creating a new church. I loved the idea, but had several questions:

1. If its the "Church of the city," how are they going to reach unsaved college students?
2. Will they be located in the city (aka inside the perimeter)
3. Where will the community/fellowship come from?
4. Will people come for God or Tomlin?
5. Will it be a rich/trendy church? or will there be homeless people there?

1. Hermida Zendrive Overdrive
2. Fulltone Fulldrive 2 MOSFET Overdrive
3. Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive (Keeley Modified)
4. Ibanez Tubescreamer TS9 (Keeley Modified)

1. Eventide TimeFactor
2. T.C. Electronics Nova Delay
3. Boss RE-20

Misc Pedals:

1. Electro-Harmonix POG (Polyphonic Octave Generator)
2. Eventide PitchFactor
3. BBE Sonic Stomp

1. Boss FV-500H
2. Boss FV-500H

These are based on looking at Nigel Hendroff's pedalboard (Hillsong), Daniel Carson's pedalboard (Chris Tomlin) and Matt Adkin's pedalboard (Steve Fee).
