“Any announcements for today?” You can tell the size of the church based on the format of the announcements. If they are strictly regimented, read off a piece of paper, with no extemporaneous audience comments allowed, you’re at a big church; over a hundred where inviting in the peanut gallery would bring mayhem. If they ask for announcements, and the congregation rambles on about their own stuff, you’re at a small church. An extremely small church.

Base Church

I went to the Base Church not knowing what to expect, but already predisposed to not be its biggest fan. Base started because of a schism at my church (it took place a couple years after our last schism. We were a schism friendly church), the new teaching pastor we had hired left after six months on the job to plant Base 5-minutes from us. It's hard to say we took this news with outstretched open arms, but instead as the stiff rebuke from a guy you were dating (Amen) only to find out he was messing around with your friend the whole time (Amen) and guess who's now enga

Christ Church Cranbrook

I watch a lot of movies. In movies—especially those in which someone claims sanctuary in a sanctuary—the churches strike awe in you. The architecture and design instill the grandeur of God, you walk in and you think, “Why not become Christian?

They would never be caught dead with a $8,000 machine. They'd spend 15 grand on the espresso machine, 4 grand on the POS terminals, 1 grand on the undercounter stainless steel refrigerator, 3 grand on the coffee brewers, and more

The coffee test is a good one. If you walk in and there is a full-fledged coffee bar: espresso machine, people taking orders, and a cafe then you're in a big church. If you walk in and it...

I've been to the Cranbrook twice, the review is based off of both visits. I've been wanting to go for a while but it's a 35 minute drive for me so a little out of my way. Unfortunate...
