It’s Sunday night. You and your friends want to hang out together. Do you go get a drink together? Do you go to a Sunday night service? How about a Sunday night church service in a bar? It’s happening more than you think. Churches like Connect Rome City Church in Rome, GA www.churchinabar.com and North Brooklyn Vineyard in Williamsburg Brooklyn, www.norbrooklynvineyard.org have services that meet in bars.
It sounds a little crazy, singing worship songs in a place where people normally sing bar tunes. But shouldn’t the Church do everything possible (within reason) to reach people for Christ? Or should bars be off limits? Should God’s Word only be preached in a building with stained glass and pews?
The idea they say is to take the church to the people instead of waiting for the people to come to the church. Is this a good idea? Or are these congregations becoming too much like the world?
