Maybe it\u2019s just me, but I find it really difficult to take a church seriously when its name is: Austin Power House Church<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not making that up. That\u2019s really their name.<\/p>\n

I wonder if there church slogan is \u201cGroovy baby!\u201d<\/p>\n

Maybe their budget is \u201cOne\u2026.Hundred\u2026..BILLION DOLLARS!\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyway, in their attempt to be \u201cnot your average church\u201d they had the revolutionary idea of using pop culture to communicate\u2026..well I\u2019m not sure what they are trying to communicate. Apparently they love them some Super Mario Bros. (but hate copyright laws)<\/p>\n

Looks like Vacation Bible School?<\/p>\n https:\/\/vimeo.com\/18680439<\/a>\n

As an added bonus they left the Super Mario backdrop up for Sunday morning just to shake things up a bit.
