We did two more church visits today. The first one was a very growing and high class Westlink Christian Church in Wichita. They have a real focus on children, jr high, an Sr high schoolers. Their Children's area is huge, and colorful, and well staffed, and it has at least a half dozen gaming consoles. Their jr and sr high area looks like a bar and grill or trendy coffee shop and has at least 2 dozen gaming consoles, plus 4 wii's. I think their idea is to attract the students and then give them what they need. Just to give you an idea of their focus on youth. They are having a huge event at the end of this month called the Freedom Experience which includes a illusionist/escape artist, a professional skater, a bmx stunt team, and some pop and rock artists. The event will cost around $75,000 and they expect many teens to come and many commitments to Christ. We enjoyed the worship service which was very well done, and very worshipful. The pastor had a great sermon including stories and illustrations on possessing childlike:
humility
strength
honesty
love
faith
Great experience despite the overwhelming feeling of extravagance at every turn, and we had to boogie out of their right after the service and head for our second service of the day.
