We're trying to figure out a name for a Gen X church. We are Gen Xers, and want to let people know that this isn't a "regular" or "traditional" church. No "Christianese" (words that non-Christians wouldn't understand, or are pat phrases), please.
We don't want money; we want to offer the info about Jesus in a down-to-earth, real-life application, way. Entertaining, comedy-club type atmosphere that someone who's never been to a church would feel comfy in. Not boring.
Bring it on!
Thanks for your help.

Call it ZEEK 23.
“There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
You longed for….. youth, when in Egypt your buttocks were caressed and your young breasts fondled. “ (Holy Bible - Ezekiel 23:20-21)
….

Comedy club atmosphere, huh? How about The Open Mike Church of Non Denomination? Or Jesus Laughed, How About You? Improv with Jesus? Take an idea from WWE: DeGenerationX and Jesus...
Good luck

I like Zeek 23 above.
Also:
Club Bible
Cafe Jesus
Sabbath at the Improv
All Ye Sinners
The Hizzah on West 23rd (or whatever the street is)
Also some catch phrases that might help market it:
Whose House? Jesus' House!
Look around. Even God's got a sense of humor.
Could God tell a joke so funny even He couldn't stop laughing?
Ever hear the one about Jesus and His apostles?

A Good Look at the 'Good' Book...Well, that's more of a title but maybe it will trigger something in someone else's mind.

What about people that don't feel comfy in group situations at all?

sorry, but that sounds really lame. people don't go to church to feel good, silly, they go to feel guilty.
and exactly what kind of jokes will you tell at this "comedy club/church?"
nothing your god approves of is funny.
"so, a nun, a priest, and a duck walk into a bar....." Then what?
