An Alabama church announced has that it will start holding services at a Buffalo Wild Wings so as to reach potential parishioners who “wouldn’t go to a church.” UPI reports:
The Rev. Wesley Savage, minister of young adults for Riverchase United Methodist Church in Birmingham, said the church is planning to begin holding Sunday morning services at a local Buffalo Wild Wings in the hopes of attracting worshipers who might be intimidated by the church setting.
“We believe there’s a population that would attend a service there that wouldn’t go to a church,” Savage told AL.com. “We hope it’s going to be a more inviting atmosphere.”
The services have been dubbed “The Stream” and they are being billed in signs posted by the church as “Wings. Prayer. Sports.”
