Finding a Meeting Location in Delray Beach

I announced at the beginning of the year that this year The Mission is going to move its meetings from Friday night to Sunday mornings.  Of course you know that means we have to find a new meeting place. Most new churches meet in public meeting places like schools, community centers or hotel banquet halls.

For us, this is a little more difficult.

Virtually every school in Delray Beach has an ethnic church meetin in it.  Some have multiple churches meeting there.

There are only a few hotels in Delray Beach that have banquet halls.  None are suitable for what we want to do.

We really want to be able to have mid week services and be able to host conferences.

We don’t have big ching (we hardly have any ching at all).

There is a school I am in contact with about beginning our Sunday services there but I am still looking other places.

When I tell most people we are looking for a place to house a church they have no ablility to think outside the box of a traditional church with a steeple and such.  I am now looking at industrial spaces, showroom/warehouses, office buildings with large conference rooms, etc.  I think we could convert a large room with cubicles rather easily.  The main concern for us is parking, restrooms and the ability to set up a nursery and childcare during the service.

We are a radically different church and hope to have a different kind of meeting space.
