  18. Megachurches Coffee bars, book stores and even a bowling alley — leaders of large churches want their church to be an integral part of the community surrounding it, and they are willing to invest in it. Even smaller to midsized churches draw in outsiders through “fellowship” facilities. Megachurches take this to a new level with video games, concerts and food courts http://hiscrivener.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/are-megachurches-becoming-more-like-church-mart/
