Marketplace Churches
Hung out with Dan McBride and Jeff Sellers from Victory Church in Lakeland, Florida yesterday.
They visited NCC a couple years ago and God planted a "theater seed" in their hearts. They did some multi-site recon at LifeChurch in Oklahoma, Northpoint in Atlanta, and Seacoast in SC. And they came back to NCC this weekend to gear up for their launch in March. They are launching a new location in a brand new theater.
One of our core convictions is: the church belongs in the middle of the marketplace. Most church plants have to start in marketplace environments by default. But I'm so impressed by larger, more traditional churches that aren't content with sitting back in the comfortable confines of their church buildings. I honestly think God is calling His Church back into the marketplace--marketplace churches.
For what it's worth, churches didn't have church buildings until about the 4th century. And I'd say the early church fared pretty well without them :)
