Make Church Fun

Grace Community Church on Vimeo.


This video is killer. People are drawn to fun things. This is no mystery. A lot of people are turned off from going to church because it is simply no fun. Instead of experiencing the joy of a life with Jesus, they are surrounded by the "frozen chosen" who have bought the lie that church has to be staunch and serious all the time. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of things that we need to be serious about-- people are hurting and going to hell. But as believers in Jesus Christ, there is a lot to rejoice about. Of everyone in the world, we are the ones who have the greatest reason to rejoice.

I'm proud that my church is a place where we can have fun as we worship God and learn about Him. A few weeks ago, we had everyone bring in noise makers into a time of testimony and celebration. One person brought in a Baritone (brass instrument) and some others brought air horns. Every time someone would give a testimony, they would yodel on their Baritones, rattle the tambourines and blast their air-horns. It was down-right just fun.
