That is something that I love about Northpoint's mentality of creating familiar, comfortable spaces. Truly setting a great example as far as facilitating involvement and relationships. Perfect!

The High School area looks more like a hangout place than a church. We have miniature "living rooms" and "coffee shops" every other corner you turn. It's not to look cool or hip or make smaller churches jealous (after all... they can do the same thing!). It's to leverage/borrow/steal from the relational collateral that already exists within these types of environments. peace | dewde This is why so many of the environments at our church (http://northpoint.org) look like living rooms and not classrooms.

Something different is always needed, and I agree with "Church Marketing TV"... It wont work if you force it. Great Post, Sam!
