Name - New Family Fellowship
Slogan (based on what you have written) Helping you find the answers.
You might note that the model you are planning to follow is no longer considered "cutting edge" in more urbanized areas, but given your market, it may still be a viable niche.
If you are going to follow this model, go all out. Have your meetings on Friday or Saturday evening instead of Sunday morning. Your target audience of unchurched 18 -35 year olds will want to sleep in on Sunday morning, and it will seem less like church. Sing happy-clappy praise choruses instead of old hymns with possibly disconcerting theological themes.
Don't do expository preaching. Have inspirational talks with life application. Don't pass the plate-have boxes by the exit doors.
Your flock can the be happily led astray.
I greatly value expository preaching and teaching but unless it has a practical application, most people walk away with "head knowledge," which only leads to arrogance and no change.
Sneer if you like but life application has far more real impact in a person's life.
Don't pass the plate-have boxes by the exit doors.
Your flock can the be happily led astray.
We were already planning to just have boxes at the door for people to give FREELY and not be duped into believing that tithing is a New Testament principle, which it is not. Hopefully, they will not be led astray at all but come to love and embrace the truth, applying it in their lives and, in turn, changing their world for Christ.
Thanks for the ideas.
