One of the things that Pastor Barry did right at St. Charles River Church, was to build a big foyer with a coffee shop in it. Here are some pictures. The vision the Lord has given me for a building includes a large foyer and coffee shop. Ministry happens in relationships. The other part of the vision is plenty of altar space in the worship area. Every sermon needs to be followed by a passionate prayer response. Our church needs much growth in these two areas. When we build we will make room for these priorities among other things like missions, youth and children's ministries.

Paul you don't want a coffee house in your church. That is just a seeker sensitive fad that will eventually run its course then you will have a ton of wasted space. The fad has already started to fade here and many pastors are regretting putting one in. Invest in your kids and youth and keep it simple brother. Of course you know how I am with the whole PDL emergent church stuff anyhow.
Good Afternoon
Looking forward to your next post
