Area church to hold worship services in bar
Church

From the Dayton Daily News:

The Pub Lounge near the I-75 exit in Sidney is your typical neighborhood restaurant/bar.

It has a dance floor, riding bull, big screen TV, pool tables, pizza, beer and a pleasant, everybody-knows-your-name vibe.

Which — according to the Rev. Chris Heckaman — makes it the ideal spot for a new church.

We do church in a movie theatre. I've seen it done in gymnasiums, auditoriums, parks, etc.

The Church never was and still shouldn't be a building.

If I'm reading the article right, we're not talking about architecture here. We're talking about holding the service in an actual, operating bar (well, the article isn't clear on whether they're actually serving drinks during the service).

I guess they're not going to offer their sanctuary for use by AA meetings.

The church I grew up in in Shreveport, LA started in a hotel ballroom that was used as a bar between Sundays. My current church had it services for a long time in a funeral home. Where doesn't matter... it's what goes on (like, if there are people drinking and strippers dancing on poles, there's probably something wrong there.)
