Life.Church Owasso kicked off their “At the Movies” campaign with a Ghostbusters theme, decorating their church to resemble the Ghostbusters headquarters, complete with an animatronic Slimer and giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man outside, while crafting a sermon based around the film.
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.
Unfortunately, the sermons are never livestreamed or broadcast due to copyright infringement issues related to the large number of movie clips they feature, but here is the sanctuary in all its glory.

These megachurches are just social clubs and nothing else.
Can you say “Vacation Bible School”? Yep, done to evangelize children. It happens EVERY summer.
“ These megachurches are just social clubs and nothing else.”
It’s not that simple.
The church I go to is technically a megachurch by its size .
It is hugely evangelistic, baptizing hundreds every year.
Thousands of kids singing about Jesus for VBS.
Programs to help people going through difficult times, freeing people from addictions and many other things.
It’s like the church of Acts in some ways
“Megachurch” == Religion flavored circus.

Say what? Life. Church O’what?
Jesus is gonna’ reject these people if they don’t repent of their sins and trust in Him. Bottom Line.
Ghostbusters? Sheesh....
“If I be lifted up from the Earth, I will draw all Ghostbusters to myself”
My sainted mother often said that… “if you needed entertainment to get people to go to church, their being there didn’t amount to much.”
Ancient Egyptian Pagan Temples, had lots of music, Plays, Dancing girls, free food. But, they had no heart.
Did they have alien sex in the penthouse?
The Church of What’s Happening Now.
Megachurches are money grubbing scams and should be investigated for fraud and shut down if necessary. This is not a slight against Christianity, because their behavior is unChristian.
The biggest megachurch in the world has 1.4 billion members and a single inerrant leader. No other church comes close to “mega.”
Morgana, you would have an easier time if you just looked at all the blasphemous, heretical, and sacreligious things your Catholic religion does. Then you would have some free time left over to get a life.
