A Different Way to Go to Church

I’ve shared with you in past posts, one fairly recently, that my family was a church-going family.  But our faith was more than just going to church on Sunday, it was a way of life, no, it was even more than that, it was all about relationship…relationship with God through Jesus Christ.  I know that’s a statement that needs some explaining, but I think some of you understand.

I attended all kinds of churches as I was growing up, my only requirement was that they taught the Bible, God’s Word.  Denomination wasn’t necessarily important to me, but the content of the sermons and the quality of the fellowship was.

While I can’t say that I’ve ever attended a church in a theatre, I have attended events in large settings, for example in concert halls.  The thought of using a theatre as a church setting is something that is being considered, and there is something in the works to promote the idea. Find out more here, if you like.

What do I think of the idea? Any way that God be presented to people, as long as it is teaching from the Bible, is fine with me, whether it be a small home church, to a church in a meeting place as large as a theatre. God meets people and changes their lives in many different settings. The first-ever inaugural Theatre Church Conference will be taking place in Silver Spring, MD on October 22 & 23.

    We have such similar backgrounds, that it amazes me Claudia. I agree with you..the church doesn’t have to have a steeple to classify as a church. The church consists of a body of believers, not the building.

    I’ve never been to a church with a theatre setting, however, I have been to a church that was held in a school and in a mall. No matter where you are you should be able to receive God’s word. It’s all a matter of what’s in your heart and the intent to the congregation. Some pastors have taken on an “entertainment” theme–which I definitely don’t like.

    “wherever two or more are gathered in my name, I am there in your midst.” (Mt. 18:20) - to me God is where the people are no matter where they are!
