Big Church Part II

What Happens at Altar Call

If you have been to an alter call at the Big Church, you will know.  During the Altar Call ceremony, audience members are invited to the front of the auditorium to accept Jesus as their Personal Savior.  The ceremony begins with everyone reciting the Sinner's Prayer. Upon conclusion of reciting the Sinner's Prayer, an usher will lead you off to another room for initial Brainwashing.  During this first Brainwashing Session, you will meet up with other people who have accepted Jesus.  You are given a pen, paper, Bible and a Mr Big Chocolate Bar.  This was the second Mr Big Bar that I received from the Big Church. During this small meeting, you will be read a few bible verses and asked why you decided to accept Jesus.  You will also be suggested to attend a Cell Group.

What is a Cell 

A Cell is a small group of 12 people according to the G 12 Vision.  G 12 stands for Government of 12 people.  In the cell Group you will discuss your personal life, the Bible.  If you need serious prayer or Ministry from the Lord, you may be suggested to go on the Encounter Weekend for Brainwashing.

Events at the big Church

If you are attending Big Church Functions, please be cautious.  Do not give your personal information when you attend.  Best off, Do not attend, you will get Brainwashed.

The Cause

Taken at The Cause, April 2009

The Cause is almost like a Sunday Service with a few twists.  This event features games, food, live band, skits, video presentations, and a lecture by the Speaker of the house.  Sometimes before the band hits the stage, the dance team will perform a dance number.  The band will play a couple of upbeat songs to get the audience hyped up for the event.  There may a few games like Blindfold Musical Chairs or any other silly games the leaders decided. Following the games, there may be a video presentation and other skits before the lecture.  Following the Lecture, there will be an altar call, the first opportunity for Brainwashing.  Following the formal events of the evening, there may be food and beverages set up on the side of the auditorium for everyone to enjoy.

The Encounter Weekend: The Danger of Big Church

What is the Encounter? An Encounter is a retreat course in Freedom (IE, Bitterness, bondage, etc). People will be set free through the Power of the Cross, (Big Church-encounter).

What happens at the Encounter Retreat

Once you put out your $120 - 150 Smackers, you will attend four Pre-Encounter workshops with the leaders.  These workshops will ensure you and other participants are prepared for Brainwashing.

On the Encounter Weekend, you will be at a retreat facility for three days away from distractions.  If you are Gay, or if you have non christian friends, you will be brainwashed.  The church or Encounter Leaders will tell you to change your ways and it may not be the best for you.

Other Events

Ignite Barrie: A multi-church event held at the Bethel Country Club (Bethel Community Church) on the third Friday of every month.  Attend this event with caution because of Brainwashing

City Hall Prayer:  This prayer meeting is held on the second Wednesday of the month at Barrie City Hall. Big Church members gather once a month to pray where decisions are made for the City of Barrie.

Cell Groups:  Cell Groups are held weekly in private homes or at the church on a weekly basis.  Church members are brainwashed in cell groups.

One Church, One Voice:  A Canada Day Multi-Church worship concert at Memorial Square/Meridian Place during the Promenade Days festivities in Downtown Barrie.  Brainwashing is very little. The concerts seem to get slow because the pastors want to talk over the hour. I was smart not to fall into the brainwashing trap.

Former Events

Rev: This is a bible study for teenagers and a brainwashing opportunity

Full Throttle, Men's Breakfast:  This is a Big Church get-together for men that is held at a near by restaurant.  You will have to bring your own money and order your own food.

Comedy Nights, Movie Nights:  These events are fundraisers for the church to collect money.  Each event usually costs $5 - 10 Smackers.

The Cause:  This event is now transformed to Ignite Barrie.

In 2012, The Big Church has made a move to the Seventh Day Adventist Church in the south end of Barrie.

What Happens inside Big Church

First Time Visitors

On your first visit to Big church, the pastor or leader of the house will award you with a Mr Big Choclate Bar and you are welcome to eat it during the service.

The Big Church no longer gives out the coveted Mr Big bar because of peanut allergies.  I was glad to get my Mr Big Bar from the Mr Big  Church in 2006.

The Worship (Warm - Up)

At the top of the service, the worship leader will hype the audience up as the band gets ready to play the first upbeat song of the night.  The band will play cover songs from Hillsong United or Jesus Culture.  Peoplea are free to get up and dance, clap, and sing along with the band.  

Following the first or second song there is an opportunity for announcements about church life and upcoming events.  When the announcements are wrapped up, the band will take the stage and play a few more Worship songs from their selected song list.  The band starts to slow things down.

The Offering

After a few slow songs have been played, the worship leader will take a moment to take up the offering. Before the offering is taken up, the worship leader may read off some scripture and tell the audience why it's very important to tithe every week. 

Audience members take their tithing envlope and place into a gold baskets located at the end of the centre aisle by the stage.  The most dedicated church members may put $20.00 or more in a tithing envlope.

Following the offering, the band will play one or two more songs and than the Speaker of the House will take the stage.

The Lecture

The pastor or the Speaker of the house will take the podium starting out with a scripture reading and than delivers the Message.  The message depending on what the Speaker of the House has to say, the lecture can get pretty lengthy and boring.

This speaker has a unique pattern to stare at when you get bored during the pastor's lecture. 

Healing and Altar Call

Healing

Following the Lecture, sometimes there may be an hour of Healing or an Altar Call.  During a Healing Service, the pastor or leaders will invite people to receive the power of the Holy Spirit.  The pastor or leaders will use laying on hands and sometimes people may become slain in the the spirit.  Sometimes the leaders may start to speak in tongues.  Sometimes there may be sudden laughter or crying during the service.

Altar Call

Sometimes there may be an altar call for people who want to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour. people are invited to the front to resite the Sinner's Prayer.

Wrap Up

The House band will play the final upbeat song for everyone to get up and dance before the church is dismissed.  If the Healing Service takes too long, audience members are welcome to leave if time is tight. Occasionally the band may not play the final song if the Healing Service takes longer than expected.

If you have been to Big Church a few times before, sometimes the band may repeat songs every week.

Following the Service, people will go to a nearby Wendy's or fast food Restaurant for fellowship
