Andy Stanley of North Point Community Church and Craig Groeschel of LifeChurch.tv to headline the exclusive WFX 2007 Keynote Double Feature on October 25th

Framingham, MA − August 22, 2007Worship Facilities Conference & Expo (WFX), recognized for continued strength in Keynote Presenters, announces that 2007 will follow in that tradition as it brings an unprecedented Keynote Double Feature with leaders of two of the top three most innovative churches in America^. Founding and Senior Pastors Andy Stanley of North Point Community Church and Craig Groeschel of LifeChurch.tv will be delivering Keynote presentations at WFX on Thursday, October 25th at 9:00 at the state-of-the-art Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

Both Groeschel and Stanley, delivering back-to-back presentations, will share how their facilities, audio/visual, and new media experiences influenced their substantial church growth. “Growth means something different for every church, especially with the technology available to us in the twenty-first century,” stated Craig Groeschel, Founding and Senior Pastor of Lifechurch.tv. “Facilities matter,” adds Brian Blackmore, Editor-in-chief and Publisher of Church Production Magazine, and Worship Facilities magazine, presenters of WFX. "To a seeker or potential new member, the facility is the 'face' of the church. People's first impression of your church --- whether through the internet, television or in-person --- has a huge impact on whether or not they are likely to return. Lifechurch.tv and the North Point network of campuses are at the cutting edge of a new generation of church --- churches that are arguable most effective at reaching modern- day American society. I know I speak for every one at WFX in saying that I'm thrilled to have both of these leaders sharing their knowledge and experience with our attendees."

WFX, noted for bringing attendees some of the most sought after visionaries for church leadership and growth, has an impressive Keynote tradition over its three years. “We pride ourselves on providing our attendees with the most recognizable figures in the market,” said Nicole Derany, WFX Show Director. The WFX Keynote Hall of Fame includes Bill Hybels, Founding and Senior Pastor of Willow Creek Community Church, Ed Young, Founding and Senior Pastor of Fellowship Church, and M. Rex Miller, author of The Millenium Matrix: Reclaiming the Past, Reframing the Future of the Church. “WFX attendees come to our show to learn about growing churches, and it is our job to make sure they are getting that education from the most influential leaders in the house of worship market. We are thrilled to have Andy Stanley and Craig Groeschel share their success stories with us this year,” added Derany.

The WFX Keynote Double Feature will take place at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia on October 25, 2007 at 9:00am. For more information, please visit [www.wfxweb.com].
