Does this mean...
- Matured and hymn-based…
- Welcome but please dress appropriately for God…
- They do not talk about sex…
- Safe and homogeneous…
- They know what God likes…
- Developing fully devoted followers of Christ…
- Children’s choir and bake sales...
- Is this inferring today’s forward-thinking churches are irreverent?
- Is this effective niche-based marketing?

This church is trying to zero in on a specific market segment - those who are turned-off by the new, progressive thinking churches.
It's along the same lines of "Love God, but hate church," which did the same thing by focusing on those who don't like the tradition-rich, denominational churches.
In Joshua Harris's book, Stop Dating the Church, he makes the argument that there is room for market segmentation in churches - those who serve different demographics, psychographics, etc..
Of course, you must first seek out a church that is following God's word. But after that perhaps there is room for personal preference.
Good assessment; I was torqued initially but then I realized the people who eat at Luby's need a place to call home and knit.
I LOVE Luby's!
