Invited To Church Over Beer?

A St. Louis congregation that focuses on reaching 20- and 30-somethings is anything but traditional. In a back room at Schlafly Bottleworks in Maplewood, about 50 people gathered on a recent Wednesday night over beer to talk rock ’n’ roll.

Theology at the Bottleworks is run by a successful congregation of young St. Louisans called “The Journey”. The Schlafly program is part of the church’s outreach ministry. First-timers are invited to check out the church on Sunday, and Journey leaders say many have. Theology at the Bottleworks is just one of The Journey’s ministries, but it has helped the church grow from 30 members in late 2002 to 1,300 today. Read more..

This certainly takes mission efforts to a different level.

I know they do something similar here in Pittsburgh. It's theology on tap. Not many Southern Baptists show up.
