That's an old school thing...They used to call them 'storefronts' back in the day. I think the decision to do it was based on finances--these locations were typically cheaper than a 'real' church (read: the building) and could be rented or leased. Speaking of Mr. Mega Church himself (no offense intended) TD Jakes started the Potters House in a storefront!
I think the issue becomes "Why are you doing this and how does it give God glory?"
I'm sorry, but I just don't see how an ATM is going to help give Him his Glory!! The world already sees Christians (especially pastors) as money hunger and they would put an ATM in the Church?!?!? Well, I guess it would cut out that general lie "I forgot my check book so I can't give this week!" statement!! LOL
Another rumor I recently heard: For any LA or Southern Cali folks out there...Is there a church that has bought/is trying to buy the LA Forum where the Lakers used to play??
