Their new building has a great foyer, designed with numerous conversational areas and (you guessed it) places to get coffee.
The upper deck isn't finished yet, but it will serve fellowship purposes. I like the design.
Here is the entrance to the the children's ministry area. Cora liked their set-up . . . but mentioned that she misses Grandview.
This is the gymnasium/worship space.
The sermon this morning focused on environmental issues, was solidly biblical, but way more "teachy" than "preachy."
This is the kids worship space. They start off here and then go to classes.
This picture is blurry because Meghan was horrified that I would snap a shot of unsuspecting teenagers in a teen "fun room." Needless to say, she stayed with her mom and dad.
I wish it were closer. We enjoyed the service. They have an "emergent" forms worship service on Saturday nights. I may try to run back over there sometime to check that out. Here's their website: Link.

What's the difference between teachy and preachy?
Well, for me the difference is that teaching is more likely to give information in a straight forward fashion without much attention to the artistry of language.
Preaching should give information, of course, but with greater attention to the power of language to move the hearer through the use of story, alliteration, and evocative language.
Your question is a good one because they are not mutually exclusive. Good teaching uses language well. Good preaching uses information well. It's more a question of emphasis.
