It is hard to find pics of NLR because I think they think a camera will capture your soul *but the sound company that installed their audio equipment when they built it had some pics on their site. Very beautiful traditional church. Great for the deep South and attracting conventional church goers.

* I am just kidding but they don't believe in using the internet so there is no church website with pics or for sure no video!
lol....they do use the internet..

There are some pics online somewhere and a video on youtube.

Ill try to hunt em up and post here.

NLR runs over 2500 in each of the 3 services...even more on Sunday mornings. Additional seating was added in the Sanctuary last year to accommodate the steady growth. Sanctuary now seats 3500+ including balcony. Sanctaury looks FULL even on a Tuesday night midweek Bible Study.

Awesome. Bro Holmes has been an influence on many as far as prayer goes. Our church has been forever changed since my pastor has been attending Arkansas Campemeeting.

Great slide show. Does anybody know what the sanctuary seats? I have heard a lot of numbers thrown around but I believe it is around 3,500. I heard as high as 5,000 one time but others said that was icorrect.

What is amazing is how soon they built the current church after they build the previous one. I think there was only a seven year gap if I understood the slide show correctly.

Probably the most beautiful modern era church building I have seen. I am going to have to dig out my funeral / wedding suit and someday make a trip to see it in person during a service.

Do they put the overflow in the old building and run a video feed?

lol...possible but I don't think so.

My girlfriend was there last year and said it was crammed tight! Several people were standing.


On a side note...
I'm not sure what night it was but in a crowd this size it could have went unnoticed by many...but there was a group of homosexuals that came in. Mostly women I believe. She was there and saw a couple girls making out during the service. Not sure how many other people saw it.
I don't believe that they stayed for the whole service...im sure their intention was purely disruption/distraction.
