Have you ever pondered the role of Christian nightclubs in forming a vibrant community? We sat down with our brother Will Chung, a church planter, Sanaz Mesa, Abundant Women's Director, and Jermain Baker, Creative Director to probe this question and more. We weigh the potential benefits and drawbacks, and discuss how important it is to have a strategy for those who are attracted to this unique form of socializing.
