“Most chapels exist in institutional settings and are designed to host a variety of religious activities…. a chapel may host a Catholic Mass in the morning, a Muslim prayer gathering at noon, a Jewish holy day in the evening, and a Wiccan circle in the next room.

“I (Billy) had the opportunity to worship in the pews with my kids. As a pastor, my preaching schedule rarely affords me the opportunity to spend the entire service with my family. … What grabbed my attention most was this: at some point, each of my four kids (ages 5.5 through 11.5), took out a pew Bible for personal use.” - Mere Orthodoxy

“Most church training events and conferences don’t include the average church. The average church is 65-75 people and has one pastor. Most training events are geared for churches of 200-500 that have multiple pastors and several ministry leaders.” - SBC Voices

“Greear’s observation about treating church like a ‘religious show’ hits at the heart of the issue…. When we consistently arrive late to our worship services, what message are we sending about the nature and importance of what we’re gathering to do?” - TGC
