Because faith matters, The River
Church in
The Rev room, a popular bar in the
River Market, will shift gears Sunday and become a place of worship.
Pastor Shane Montgomery says the new
church wants to remove obstacles between people and God.
"This idea of doing church in a
bar is pretty exciting to us. And we're not real sure what to expect. We know
long term we may not be in a bar every Sunday in a year from now, but at least
it's a place to start. And if it reaches people that would never walk into a
door of a church, we're glad they're coming," Pastor Montgomery said.
Right now the church has about 30
members, but they're expecting a big crowd Sunday. Their first service will be Good Friday at
another downtown location.
