Rob Bell

So yesterday I talked about Mark Driscoll, who pastors a church in Seattle Called Mars Hill. Well there's another pastorof another Mars Hill in Grandville, MI named Rob Bell. Bell's book Velvet Elvis is a great read, and I highly recommend it. Well anyway I came across this article about him this morning, and I just though I would share it with all of you. It's cool to see churches that are a little out of the ordinary exploding with growth. I think the key behind both Mars Hill Seattle and Mars Hill Grandville, is authenticity. They are themselves through and through, the churches don't try to be anyone else, the pastors are not trying to be the next Rick Warren or Bill Hybles, they're just being themselves. Pretty cool.
