There are some unique church names that might raise an eyebrow or garner the attention of a second glance. For example, who says…

    When it comes to religion in America, megachurches have a particular draw. Each megachurch has at least 2,000 in attendance on a typical weekend, most of them with multiple worship services, and an increasing number with multiple locations.

Aside: I myself have 624 pins and my dear wife has over 2,127 pins. Here’s a list of churches on Pinterest I’d…
