Welcome to the new McChurch!
Welcome to the McChurch!
Plenty of fun to be had for all the family! From mums and babies, to tots and teens!And there's lots for the older youth too!
Everyone welcome!
(Except grown men. They're scary!!!)

In case anyone thinks the idea of McChurch is unnecessarily harsh, it was actually inspired by the David Murrow (author of "Why Men Hate Going To Church") quotes below. Isn't it true that: "The great majority of ministry in Protestant churches is focused on children, next on women, and then, if there are any resources left, on men...(T)oday's kids-first church is a radical departure from Christianity's historical mission. Keep in mind that neither Sunday school nor youth ministry even existed two centuries ago. In those days, kids were loved, but they weren't the focus of church. Today they are...The McDonald's approach feels right to women because it lavishes ministry resources on her top priority: her children."
Think about it in relation to your own church.
