I came across a quote recently that is so challenging to me as a church that meets in a movie theater.

A 1930′s film critic said, “Theaters are the new church of the masses–where people sit huddled in the dark listening to people in the light tell them what it is to be human.”

I hate to say it, but the 60% of Americans who don’t go to church get their theology from music and movies. Musicians and movie makers are the chief theologians in our culture. I think it’s about time the church regained it’s rightful position. But we’ve got to compete for the truth. And it probably has to be on their playing field.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if more people went to church in a theater someday than go to watch a movie in a theater
