About Bar Church - bar church abilene:

Bar Church - Abilene

A lot of people seem to be interested in Jesus but are turned off by religion or just the idea of walking into an institutional church.  We get that.  At Bar Church, we're interested in creating a place where any person - regardless of their background, accomplishments, failures or issues - can come experience friendship, acceptance, and the grace that comes through Jesus.

We invite you to join us when you're ready.  We meetbeginning March 24, 2013, at Memories Bar, 541 China St. in Abilene, TX, every Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. Come as you are.

Why does Bar Church take place in a Bar?
Many people believe in God - or are curious about God -  but have legitimate barriers that keep them from traditional churches.  By meeting in a bar, we hope to remove some of those religious barriers and free people up to connect with God in a nonthreatening location.

When and where does Bar Church meet?
We meet Sunday mornings at 11:30 a.m. at Memories Bar, 541 China St. in Abilene, TX.

What does a Bar Church meeting look like?
We're an informal gathering of sincere, imperfect people who meet for prayer, music, and to hear a message from the Bible.  We share communion.  And we talk and get to know each other.

Who can come to Bar Church?
Anyone.  Including you.

Will alcohol be served at Bar Church?
Jesus seemed more interested in connecting with people than he was interested in debating questions like this.  We like Jesus' approach.  The fact is that we meet in a bar, and some people are probably going to want to order a drink.  (In our city, bars are not allowed to serve alcohol before noon on Sundays.)

Is Bar Church an actual church?
You could say we are a nontraditional church.  We help people connect with God, and we support each other as we maneuver through the ups and downs of life, like a church should do.

Bar Church is supported by the Southern Hills Church of Christ in Abilene, TX.

Ichabod -

I suppose that the Bar Church will serve adult beverages during Lenten services. At least, that is what I gather from the one question and its corresponding answer.
