I'm wondering what it takes to make a church grow. Here is a list of some things that have popped in my head...
1. No dress code of any kind. If someone wants to wear a suit fine. Bathing suit, fine. Clown outfit, fine.
2. No hymns are allowed. You have to have hip-hop music that the kids want to hear. Lyrics about Jesus and the cross and blood are a drag.
3. Move out the pews and bring in La-Z-Boys.
4. Let the kids/youth run the church.
5. Make the sermon a 5 minute devotional.
6. Have coffee and doughnuts.
7. If you don't have coffee and doughnuts at least have a full breakfast bar.
8. Joshua says an ATM might be a good one.
9. Melissa says Free Daycare.
10. Stuart thinks a bar would be nice.

I was thinking an ATM might come in handy. Vending machines would be a plus for the kids.
Actually, a concierge as soon as you open the front doors of the church would be a huge success. These would be great ways to grow a worldly church apart from Christ and Scripture.

Hey DT,
Glad to see you blogging again. Missed the Biblical sensibility your articles bring.
How about a bar? That would be culturally relevant... :/
