Renaming our Church

Exciting times abound.

Looking for a New Name

Looking for a New Name

I am not sure how often this one comes up but who has actually been in a position of choosing a name for a Church? We are currently named Stellenberg Community Church in, ummm, Stellenberg road but there is also a Stellenberg Church in the Northern Suburbs (so you can imagine the confusion sometimes).

Now that we are moving the services to a new Venue (see Dare you to move) we are gunning for a new name and a launch of a new Church – wooooow.

In order to create the buzz and excitement we are going to film a short spoof/skit on choosing really ridiculous names with the aim of asking people for some better suggestions. hehehe. The idea it to film a segment like That 70′s Show when they sit in a circle in the back room and say stupid things ;-) – here they will be coming up with crazy names like (and not all):

  • Taw Caw Missionary Community church
  • Point Peter Community Church
  • Crooksville First United Community Church
  • Smackover First United Community Church
  • Apistodookee United Community Fellowship
  • Grassy Park United Community Church
  • Is jay mal United Community Church
  • Boring United Community Church
  • holy faith tabernacle church of the solid rock
  • Do Right Community Church
  • The Entire Bible Community Church
  • Ridin With Christ Cowboy Community Church
  • The Church of Saviour on Spilled Blood
  • Sound Doctrine Missionary Temple of Praise
  • Praise All Day Church of the Redeemer Christ Our Everlasting King
  • Jesus Rocks Community Church
  • God is a Rockstar Community Church
  • Google our Community Church (do it).
  • Jesus! Amen! Booyakasha! Church
  • Cool people hang out here church
  • The Jacob Zuma Progressive Church of the Southern Hittites
  • The Sureal
  • Frederick Alluvion Mendes Ackerman Place
  • Heroes Community Church
  • The Wackhead Simpson Place of God
  • Fully Christian Church
  • {un}churched
  • {de}churched
  • Wiki wiki’s ewok Church

etc etc, not all are my suggestions, and it comes with the disclaimer that there is no bad intent here towards anyone and definitely not God. It is a joke, it is for fun, it is to get people thinking of better names.
