Why? cont.

Why "The Merge"?

• our name is symbolic of our tagline "Where the Church Meets Real Life"
  

• we desire to see less compartmentalization between the sacred and the secular
  

• we wish to help people more fully enjoy church, ministry and life by showing them how those things can mesh together in a way that is energizing
  

• we help direct people into a more full relationship with God and an alignment with His purposes 
  

Why Do We Meet @ Bottleneck Blues Bar @ Ameristar Casino?

• it's a place that doesn’t feel like church
  

• it's a place where people can be real and come as they are
  

W H Y ?

• it's located where people are in their everyday lives
  

• we meet around tables because we focus on relationship building
