Thanks, Matt

Matt has been attending our church for approximately a year and a half. He approached me last week about writing an article about our up-coming Birthday Bash at the Warner. I was pumped!

Matt works for West Virginia University in the Editing Department (not sure the exact title, sorry Matt). He helped edit a book that was written about John Wooden. Pretty cool!

Below is the story which he has written for our church. Thanks, Matt.

For immediate release


MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Each Sunday morning, the historic Warner Theatre is converted from a movie theater into a house of worship by Stonebridge Baptist Church. But on Nov. 5, Stonebridge will also use the Warner for its primary purpose.

As part of its third anniversary celebration, Stonebridge is inviting the public to attend its 10 a.m. worship service Nov. 5. Following the service, a free showing of the family friendly movie Cars will be shown. Free pizza and special discounts at the concession stand will also be provided.

Stonebridge Baptist Church is one of approximately 300 churches nationwide that meets in a movie theater. Stonebridge was founded in 2003 by co-pastors Jason Sheffstall and Russell Knight, who moved to Morgantown from Texas to plant the church. The first service was held Nov. 7, 2003, at Lakeview Resort and Conference Center. The congregation met there until March 2004, when services were relocated to the Warner Theatre on High Street in downtown Morgantown.

Stonebridge, which features contemporary praise music and sound Biblical teaching in a relaxed environment, has a multi-generational congregation with a strong WVU student turnout.

For more information about Stonebridge Baptist Church’s third anniversary celebration and free showing of the movie Cars following the 10 a.m. service on Nov. 5, call (304) 291-2900.
