Community Christian Church

Greed. Greed. Greed. This place fired my friend who is a single mother supporting 3 children. They claim not to have the money for her salary, yet hired a minister who is earning an extremely generous paycheck.
The architecture is nice, but it’s what’s on the inside that really matters…

You have to like architecture, at least a bit, to really appreciate this church. The more you like architecture, the more you will like this church. Me? I am an architecture nerd. I was groomed to be one by my father. I didn’t…but that’s beside the point. I still love it. I also grew up near Oak Park, Illinois, where Frank Lloyd Wright houses are a dime a dozen, and my father also made sure I visited many of his creations during my youth.
All that is to say that I do like this church… a lot. I am not religious by any means, but this church appeals to me. It has so many little nooks and crannies, it’s like an English muffin. A spiral case here, a strategically placed hole there. There is even a little chapel at the bottom that I had no idea existed until I went down 2 – 3 floors of stairs, turned right, knocked three times and said the secret password. Well. it looks out over Main Street, so it’s not too hidden. I just didn’t know it was there.
The acoustics here are great. I went to a concert and, while the music wasn’t really my style, the acoustics were about as good as you could expect from a church.
The whole place can look a little run down if you don’t appreciate the architecture. And if you don’t, so be it. But if you do… you will really enjoy this place.
