Do megachurches have little Starbucks in their lobbies yet?

Answer 1

Willow Creek does, but I have not been there in a while. Its not officially a Starbucks but they sell the same type of flavored coffee and such for $3.00 and more per cup.

Saddleback, like many churches, gives away free coffee, but I did not see a Starbucks when I was there last month.

Willow Creek has a full blown cafeteria selling pizza and hamburgers and full blown dinners and room for about 750 to sit down and eat at one time.

During the week remember that 500 staff members work for a church like Willow Creek and like another other business, their staff is more productive if they can eat without leaving the building during lunch.

Answer 2

Although we don't have Starbucks yet, we do have people selling Krispy Kremes in the lobby to raise money to buy uniforms for our dance team etc. Although I personally disagree with this because it reminds me of when Jesus got upset when folks were selling stuff in the church.

We are supposed to be adding on to get a sandwich shop. I look forward to that and it would be a great place to mingle after church.

Hope this helps..

Answer 3

Yeah, but does putting a buck in the megachurch starbucks' tip jar count as tithing?

Answer 4

Forget the sacrament, they are offering a shot of espresso and a small piece of a blueberry scone. Also they are taking out the confessional booths and installing a Panera Bread

Answer 5

That's so funny. Do they really do that?
I originally came from Germany and I remember when I first came here, my grandpa and I went to the local church in the neighborhood. We didn't understand a thing and they served coffee and cake after the service. That was so strange to us!
