Life.Church Jenks in Tulsa, Ok, kicked off their At the Movies campaign with a Star Wars-themed church service, showcasing their relevancy by decking out the lobby and sanctuary with characters and props from the films.
It’s not a one-off for the 85,000-member, seeker-sensitive, multi-site-based Oklahoma church that has 40 locations, but rather something they do every year. Led by Craig Groeschel, the pastor and lead visionary who is an awful preacher and habitual scripture- twister, and who recently launched the metaverse for the megachurch, their promo material explains:
At the Movies is an annual summer event at Life.Church. We decorate our lobbies in our favorite movie themes and invite friends and family. During the experience, we show snippets of popular films, and Pastor Craig creates a message based on themes from the film. It’s one of our most popular and fun series, and we look forward to it every year.
Congregants and guests can get their picture taken with Grogu, the Mandalorian, Chewbacca, tie-fighters, lightsabers, and other Star Wars figures and equipment. It’s all so unnecessary, but for seeker-sensitive churches, that’s kind of the point.

Almost certainly not a Spirit-filled Philadelphia Church.
Another Laodicean Church gone off the rails.
I’ve posted about this before they do this every summer. Boosting their attendance I guess.
Mega churches seem to be like that. A stage for a band and theatrics. A rock concert with a sermon thrown in.
And they probably don’t even preach the Good News or the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Does the church also have its own gas stations in the parking lots like Costco?
“Boosting their attendance I guess.”
It hasn’t worked for Disney.

Don’t forget to ask about the hot dog combo.
I always liked Hans Solo.
Hans? Do they worship Franz, too?
They may be worshiping something but it ain't God.
It’s a free country. After all, it’s why we moved to America from England. So we don’t have to be under the King’s church.
Probably a copyright/piracy violation.
To say nothing of “That’s not Church!”
“Star Wars” is most certainly not Christianity. The idea that God is a force that can be manipulated sounds like a shamanistic religion.
