Theater Churches

Bookmark and Share

We're going to host a half-day forum for churches meeting in movie theaters on May 4, 2006 as an add-on to our Buzz Conference (www.buzzconference.com).

I just got word from Warren Bird, one of the co-authors of The Multi-site Church Revolution, that he is going to spearhead a major research study on Theater churches. We discussed this idea when Warren did an article on NCC for Leadership Journal. He just got word that Leadership Network is going to get behind the study!

I'm stoked.

I think there ought to be a 1,000 theater churches. I'm hoping our half-day forum and this research study can be small steps/giant leaps toward that becoming reality!

If your church meets in a theater and you're willing to be a guinea pig for this study let me know. I'd also like to extend an invitation to attend our half-day forum in Washington, DC on May 4, 2006. You can register here. It'll be a great opportunity to learn from each other!

Please forward a buzz link (www.buzzconference.com) to pastors of theater churches!

We're 19 months old. After being in a Skating Rink, High School Cafeteria and a Girl Scout Building we expect to move into a more perminant setting come February... a Movie Theater. I'll be at the Buzz Conference and now will likely be at the Theater forum. Don't know what we could contribute but we'd be glad to participate as a guinea pig. I'm sure we'll learn some lessons and make adjustments right away.

There is a seperate registration for the theater church forum. I think it's $29 for that half-day event. Make sure you register for both/and.

Look forward to connecting :)

Mark,

We've met in a theatre for about 4 years and it's been amazing.

We'd love to help out in the study if needed.
