Synopsis

In this devastatingly funny play by one of America's most popular playwrights of Christian drama, we find an idealistic young man who believes he can start the perfect church.

And of course, he runs into a myriad of problems: active participation, selection of a pastor, choice of music director, policy on church doctrine, outreach for membership, and so on.

Although this easy to produce play is mostly amusing, it does make an important point -- don't give up on your church and its problems, but join together in unity of mind and heart to create a better place of worship.
