Happening, is a church on fire for God. Where worship is deep and preaching is edifying.
Its not about programs although they help.

The most dynamic, entertaining, riveting oratory is empty if it doesn't tell people God's only plan of salvation.
Trinitarian churches don't ever preach that message.
their preaching is therefore as empty as it can get, no matter how entertaining it might be, or how much good information there is on anger management, coping skills, reationship advice, stress relief, or whatever hot topic the Osteens of the world are pontificating about.
