largest church in these here parts...

Okay, not to jump on the anti-joel bandwagon, and I'm sure others have given much more erudite critiques...

But dang, man.



Plant a freakin' church.

my sister used to live right by the Summit (where this church now gathers). i mean, do you like buy a ticket to go to church and get seats. what if they have honest scaplers in the parking lot?

ya, i am from the same place in huntington. i used to be all about the super-church, but after understanding the need for a close community at our church, these mega-churches do need to plant. there are enough people in some churches to start a 100 church plants, ans each one can be unique in style and outreach. it is not about the money folks. do we really think that there can be closely knit hearts when you have to stand in line 1hr at a fellowship dinner. by the time the last person gets through, others have left and connections are lost.
