Worship Facilities Conference & Expo (WFX) has announced its Advisory Council for WFX Houston, taking place November 5- 7, 2008 in Houston, TX. The Council, a board of 15 leaders in houses of worship, consultants, and suppliers, works together throughout the year to help create a conference program for growing churches that is both comprehensive and approachable, touching on facilities growth, church A/V production, digital church needs, and facilities operations and energy efficiencies.
