The Answer: “We've totally revamped our Sunday school. We have over six different classes from Health and Wellness, Dave Ramsey Financial Peace, Marriage, etc. We have classes for all the adults, then Children's Church and two Youth Classes from 9:30 - 10:30 on Sunday mornings. Then we have a regular service at 10:45 a.m. It seems to be going well, still a few kinks to work out, but the adults are really getting more out of Sunday school now!”

The Question: Do / Did you kiss on the first date? Why/Why not?
The Answer: “I generally don’t kiss on the first date (of course there are always exceptions!). In a way it’s a test. If a guy is willing to wait, it says a lot to me about his respect for women.”

The Question: Airport Pastors. Does a pastor on the preaching circuit hurt his shepherding the flock? Is there a happy medium?
The Answer: “A pastor on the preaching circuit can definitely hurt his flock if not handled correctly. If a pastor puts his own congregation first, he will know what the happy medium is. Similarly, if a pastor is hopping from mission field to mission field, he could be shorting his flock, but there is a happy medium there.”

The Answer: “The question is: ‘How much Pop Culture will we allow in the church?’ If your church can forgo a Halloween party alternative without rustling the feathers of a bunch of irritated parents...do it! If you must appease some of the people who can’t seem to grasp the negative roots of Halloween, do what we do at our church. We host a ‘Garden Party’ for the church kids and the community and use it as a way to introduce the local families to our assembly.”
Does Ap Culture encourage/discourage individual creativity in the arts (painting/ photography/ video/ writing, etc.)? Why?
The Information Age, for us, is over. China and India are well ahead of us already; we have entered the Creative Age.
