Warr Acres church lobby becomes video game world of 'Tron' for sermon series
It's not the fantasy world of the movie “ Tron: Legacy ” but rather the lobby of LifeChurch.tv's northwest campus, 5821 Northwest Expressway.
Brian Bruss , campus pastor, said the church's lobby has been transformed into scenes from the 2010 film in conjunction with the “At the Movies” sermon series under way at all LifeChurch.tv locations. Bruss said the annual series draws numerous visitors to the LifeChurch.tv churches for messages featuring LifeChurch.tv Senior Pastor Craig Groeschel's mix of clips of popular movies and Scripture-based teaching.
Bruss said summer time is traditionally a season when church attendance is decreasing due to school holidays and family holidays. However, the film series has gained popularity as its LifeChurch.tv campus and other generally see more traffic during this period. The series continues through the worship services on Saturday and Sunday and July 23-24.
"We see more people come to Christ during this time of year (" at the movies "series) than at any time of the year, which is really unusual," he said.
He said about 3,000 people attended the LifeChurch.tv worship services during the fourth weekend in July. He said the church generally attracts between 2,700 and 2,800 for the week on Saturday and Sunday service, so the participation was remarkably high, especially for a weekend.
The decorations are fun
Bruss said the staff at each campus LifeChurch.tv are encouraged to have fun with the series by decorating their lobby with a movie theme.
That's why a visitor to the northwest campus is immediately immersed these days in a cavernous black-lit room filled with large “light cycles” — patterned after the movie's iconic vehicles that scale walls — along with other items featured prominently in “Tron: Legacy.”
Jason Robison , host team pastor, said it took about 200 volunteers several days to re-create the fantasy world of the “Tron” game grid.
The 2010 movie is a sequel to the 1982 cult classic “Tron.” The recent film follows the adventures of Sam Flynn , whose father, Kevin Flynn , known as the world's leading video game developer, has been missing for years. In Sam's search for his dad, he becomes immersed in the video game grid where a battle for control is ongoing.
Robison said the northwest campus lobby was transformed into Andy's room from the hit animated movie “ Toy Story 3 ” last year. He said he came up with the idea for the “Tron” theme because he loved the first movie and had just watched the sequel.

“It's basically a total transformation from Flynn's to the (game) grid,” he said. Visitors walk first into an area decorated like the movie's Flynn's Arcade, where they may play vintage video games such as the original “Tron” arcade game.
