Life.Church Wellington kicked concluded their At the Movies campaign with a Jurassic Park themed service, decking out the lobby with movie props, shrubbery, a waterfall, hanging vines, a cavern system, and several animatronic dinosaurs, designed to recreate the famous island zoo inside the church.
It’s not a one-off for the 85,000-member, seeker-sensitive, multi-site-based Oklahoma church that has 40 locations, but rather something they do every year. Led by Craig Groeschel, the pastor and lead visionary who is an awful preacher and habitual scripture- twister, who recently launched the metaverse for the megachurch, and oversaw one of his churches doing the Super Mario themed service. Their promo material explains:
At the Movies is an annual summer event at Life.Church. We decorate our lobbies in our favorite movie themes and invite friends and family. During the experience, we show snippets of popular films, and Pastor Craig creates a message based on themes from the film. It’s one of our most popular and fun series, and we look forward to it every year.
When the gospel isn’t enough, nothing is enough.
FWIW here are their beliefs.
“We give up things we love for things we love even more.”
$$$$
Did they then flood church to destroy the abominations created by Hasatan and his fallen minions.
Bread and circuses. In a purported “church.” Disgusting.
“Jurassic Park merchandise is heavily trademarked”
You can’t trademark dinosaurs, or vines, or shrubbery, or a waterfall. As long as they didn’t use the logo, there’s nothing actionable in any of that. Showing clips from the movie might be an issue, but since he is commenting on it and giving a sermon using it, it’s fair use, and they wouldn’t get anywhere suing a non-profit for fair use.
To me the scary dinosaurs are the ones running government.
"Merchandising....Merchandising....Where the real money from the movie is made!"
I agree.
And the WEF.
I guess Jesus isn’t a big enough attraction for these clowns.
Da Schwarz!!!
Six Flags “Christians”
Is the location Life.Church Wellington in Florida?
Look at the pictures. They had Blue the Rapture from Jurassic Park plus other JP style themes in that church that is heavily trademarked.

Look at the pictures. They had Blue the Raptor, I mean the Raptor! from Jurassic Park plus other JP style themes and playing the Jurassic Park theme song on their video all that is heavily trademarked.
Yes I meant to say Raptor! I have not have my Coffee this morning.
