Mariners Church

This week’s cool church is actually in sunny Southern California. Located in Irvine, Mariners Church has been around for about 40 years, but they’re taking a huge step this month. They’re moving into their new 3,300-seat worship center. You can read more about the project on their Imagine 2 site.

The new worship center follows upgrades to their existing youth center and a brand new children’s center which were completed earlier. All of that expansion is making room for the growing 10,000-person congregration under the leadership of Senior Pastor Kenton Beshore.

This weekend if I wasn’t enjoying the fun series on parenting at Granger, I’d fly to So Cal to check out the conclusion of the "Relevance of Jesus" series and the new worship center at Mariners Church. That makes them my "Cool Church of the Week."
