I am 49 and I thought the music was too "hard" also and figured it must be my age, but I kept going back because I always got so much out of the message. Now, I love the music! I even bought a couple of CD's which even my kids enjoy! I have visited other churches but now when I compare the worship part (singing) to some of the other places, I just feel they are lack something. I think the key is to focus on the words being sung and on singing those to our Heavenly Father. I think it's awesome now!! And best of all, it's so loud I don't have to worry if my neighbor can hear me!! I wasn't blessed with a very good singing voice!

It happens to be a special type of projector that was originally made by NASA. They also use it at Buckhead and also in the "other" auditorium and the North Point campus. Really cool stuff.

The only thing that might keep me away, however, is the music. I feel that this is just important as the spoken message and should prepare the hearts of the listeners for worship. I have great difficulty getting into this music. Although the band is very talented, most of the songs are SO contemporary (often seeming to border on alternative rock) that often I cannot relate to them and do not feel moved to worship God through this type of music. Perhaps the reason is that I am 50, not in my 20's-30's for whom this music might appeal. I would be delighted to hear some tamer praise & worship choruses mixed in with the alternative rock-sounding choruses(e.g., perhaps some from Michael W. Smith?). That way the music would minister to folks of all ages, not just the younger crowd. I get so much out of Andy Stanley’s messages that this just about makes it worth attending the service at BBCC.

When we lived in Wheaton, IL my wife and I would pray that we would either get offered a job in the South Bend/Mishawauka area so we could be a part of Granger, or that Granger would open a campus in our area. But God moved us here to Cumming, GA instead, and now we are part of the ministry at BBCC. It has been fabulous. I thank God that NPCC invested so heavily to create BBCC and we have a place to contribute there. We now live only 5 mins from there and really enjoy it. Keep up the great work at GCC! It was great to see you. BTW: Lane Jones is the campus pastor and he usually does have some role on the stage each week, but I think he was busy with the 1st week of KidStuf. Also, the place was very full on the 1st sunday, but by the 2nd sunday was at about 75% - leaving room for me to find new friends and invite them to church! - The parking is full though!

A couple notes from a member of BBCC: 1) Sorry for the traffic on the way out! I was on the parking team yesterday, and we had an unexpectedly bad day, due to a couple unusual timings that shouldn't happen again. The long term plan is to have another exit out of the south side of the church, and that should help a lot. 2) Lane Jones, the campus minister, usually comes up and greets everyone at the beginning of the service. Not sure why he didn't last week. 3) My family came from NPCC, and we're quite happy to be at BBCC. We don't feel like we're missing anything at BBCC, and we're excited to be in a different area where we can reach out to new people who wouldn't make the trip to NPCC.

This kind of inside look is really helpful for those of us who don't get to travel quite as much. :) Thanks, Tony!
