They might be more willing to help.

We would have stayed in the theater had it not been torn down and remodeled. I loved being in the theater–already had screens, they let us add our own lights, we built a stage in front of the screen which stored the sound gear and a storage closet where we kept partitions used in children’s church in the lobby. I have a couple friends from Community Christian(CCC) that were looking for bars/clubs to meet in–already had a sound system in place, they would offer to clean the place up, disarming atmosphere and Tom Cox of Catalyst Faith (catalystfaith.wordpress.com) who did a LOT of portable church for 10-15 years in the Chicagoland area before moving out to Pittsburgh. I know you have done SO much networking with portable church and church planters so none of this may be new. Maybe you could find a cafe that wouldn’t mind serving that hideous chili of yours post service!! :)

This is actually good news! If schools aren’t so keen on cooperating, it means they’ve NEVER seen anything like this before and don’t realize just how lucrative it is for them. You are perfectly positioned to change the way they think about church AND about God! Way to go!

I agree with Brad, there are several successful churches here that meet in movie theatres. So, you don’t have starbucks during church…how about popcorn?! If schools aren’t helping, how about some small colleges? (particularly the kind that need some financial help). Any local restaurant owners that are christians and aren’t open on Sunday? Just a thought.

Hang in there! Cincinnati is about to be changed forever!

Could it be possible to meet somewhere other than a school. Movie theatres, mini-warehouse… again I have no clue about whats doable and what’s not… just throwing out some ideas.
