We’re not in Kansas anymore–or are we?

As I mentioned in a previous post, I visited Hollywood Boulevard earlier this week and saw the sites and the stars. With that in mind, I thought I’d try to find a church this weekend that was intentionally addressing the hot topics of the culture and helping people embrace the spiritual conversations that surround us in everyday life.

HollywoodjesusWell, believe it or not, I found just such a church in Kansas. Westside Family Church is located in the suburbs of Kansas City, and they’re is in the middle of a series called "Hollywood Jesus: Our Search for God in the Pop Culture." This is a spin-off of the "Pop Spirituality" series that’s available at WiredChurches.com.

I met Westside’s senior pastor, Dave Cox, out at a conference at Saddleback Church several years ago. Dave has built a great team and a phenomenal ministry to bring Jesus to the west side of Kansas City. And, as this series demonstrates, they’re not afraid to push the envelope by delivering biblical truth using a culturally relevant theme.

So this weekend if I wasn’t attending Granger Community Church, I’d follow the yellow brick road to Kansas and check out Westside Family Church. They’re my nominee for the next star on Hollywood Boulevard, and that makes them my cool church of the week.
