 David R. Mains is a man whose creativity has been dedicated to developing spiritual growth programs that disturb ordinary presumptions. In 1967 he moved against church flight trends and established an experimental church in a Teamster’s Union Hall on the west side of the city of Chicago. “It can’t be done,” said the church-planting specialists, but with a handful of eager idealists, the church grew in ten years from 27 to 500, becoming known for its creative worship, the crucial use and development of the gifts of its lay people, and an emphasis on racial and social outreach.
