Alabama Church Boasts Coffee Bar

Pastor Chuck Glasscock wanted the Crossroads Assembly of God Church in Montgomery, Alabama to be a place where people can "hang out... and feel like they're home," so he installed "a coffee bar decorated in vibrant colors with contemporary tables and lighting." The church, located next to Rhonda's Hair Salon and Dismukes Feed and Seed, currently has about about 15 regular attendees.

In an effort to help churchgoers "enjoy themselves" and "meet the needs of the people," future additions to the church will also depart from the traditional moral atmosphere of religious structures. "We'll be putting in a fully-loaded liquor bar soon," the pastor said. But to really "pack the pews," the pastor announced that he would soon be contacting Hollywood about a possible reality-style TV show focusing on his "bold and loud Slammin' Sermon" and "bare-knuckle boxing matches" held in the church's Youth Center.
