This includes utilitarian and/or multi-purpose buildings aiming to be seeker-sensitive. I suppose this means that those seeking God tend to go where they think God might be. Go figure!

I do notice that when unchurched people come into a church sanctuary, they’re a little more quiet, respectful and conscious of things numinous (i.e. the spiritually “other”). This is why I think our wedding ministry is an important outreach to our community that we haven’t fully realized.
