Christie is showing the public how it’s visual technologies can help congregations communicate more clearly, tell more compelling stories and create experiences that resonate in worship spaces. At Church Facilities Expo (CFX) 2026, September 15–16 in Birmingham, Alabama, Christie’s booth visitors saw projection mapping in action as a Christie Korus 4K1400-KS illuminated Cathedral of Thieves, an intricate, layered wood artwork by Gabriel Schama, with projection-mapped content created by Limelight. The demonstration showed how projection mapping can turn three-dimensional surfaces, stage elements and architectural features into canvases for storytelling.
As a Gear sponsor for CFX 2026, Christie technology also supported programming throughout the show. A Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH pure laser projector and Spyder-Svideo processing platform powered visuals on the main stage, while a Griffyn 4K50-RGB pure laser projector was used on one of the education stages. The Spyder-S functionality was demonstrated on a Christie 55” LCD panel in Christie’s booth, where visitors learned how its scalable, modular architecture, expanded connectivity and simplified management give production teams flexibility to combine live camera feeds, video and graphics across multiple screens.
Christie representatives were on hand to discuss visual technology for sanctuaries, gathering spaces, multipurpose rooms, multi-site campuses and special events. Attendees also explored Christie’s projection and image-processing tools and learned how they transform worship environments.
