We have been looking for a new church near our home, about a year ago a nearby office building changed hands. Soon after a banner went up stating a new church would be moving in. We kept attending our current church. We decided to visit this new church Lagacy Chapel. We were greeted by volunteers at the front door and were given a tour and told of plans in the works. The folks we meet were very nice and welcoming. We went into a room that was a temporary sanctuary this room was about 40 feet by 30 feet with very comfortable seating caned music was playing. About 30 Parishioners were in attendance. Everything was going well. A gentleman gave a brief welcome ..... then things went down hill the music started, though band members were talented the music was Extremely loud Especially for such a small room. I am a semi retired audio engineer I have several sound pressure level meters on my iphone. I opened one of them the music in the room peaked at 110 db this can be damaging to the eardrum. It was so loud I had to leave the room. Even in the hallway outside of the room the SPL peaked at 86 db.
I mentioned the sound level to the very nice woman in the hallway.. after a few minutes she said she texted the sound technician that was running the audio board but got no response. I asked her to pass on my concerns about the exceedingly high sound levels to church leadership. She said "Ill pass it on but they wont listen to me ..the audio technician is just doing what he is told" I'm paraphrasing but this is almost verbatim of what she said.
The band played about 3 or 4 songs I went back in the sanctuary the message was given by a guest pastor from the Denver dream center. A good message just a little to much me me me I I I but overall a good message. I have heard very good things about the Denver Dream Center.
For me the music was just too loud. I know they are constructing a much larger sanctuary in the building. I plan on visiting again when that is completed. We would also like to hear the regular pastor. I believe this church has a bright future in this neighborhood. It appears to be very family oriented. And has really really good parking which can be an issue at a large church. As I said earlier my only concern is the very loud music. I will attempt to update this review after a future visit
One other, thing It appears the church has moved from another location in Highlands Ranch. The location we visited was At about 8200 South Holly St., Centennial, CO. read more
