Bible study in a bar? Church planters draw followers, criticism


By Bob Smietana • THE TENNESSEAN • February 13, 2010



The Rev. Jeremy Rose pours a glass of water during a religious discussion at J & J's Market & Cafe in Nashville. Rose's church has ties to Acts 29, a group known for its unconventional methods. JOHN PARTIPILO / THE TENNESSEAN



One of the first rules for ministers starting a new church: Don't hang out in your office. Go out and meet people.


That's an easy one for the Rev. Jeremy Rose to follow.


His startup congregation in Nashville, known as The Axis Church, doesn't have a building or any office space. On Monday night, Rose and five guys from his church sat around a table at J & J's Market & Cafe in Nashville, drinking beer and talking about Jesus.
