Another music venue sponsored by a church

This one is in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Rocky Mountain Chronicle - PSST : "Everyday Joe’s is a non-profit, Old Town coffee shop affiliated with Timberline Church, the sprawling mega-structure on Timberline and Harmony roads that, minus a huge cross, could be confused with a sizable public high school. Timberline Oldtown is an offshoot congregation that meets at Everyday Joe’s on Sundays. During the week, Hess says, the space is open to all, like 'a community center with a coffee bar in the corner' that is 'not going to slam Jesus down someone’s ears when they walk in the door.' ...

" ... Everyday Joe’s frequently books events that are of interest to non-Christians. Many local and national musicians with offbeat, artistic approaches are overlooked by Fort Collins bars and end up soliciting Everyday Joe’s for exposure. The catch is, those who want to play Everyday Joe’s may have to edit their expression.

“'We have a usage agreement that anyone who performs here signs,' Hess says. 'And so they understand that changing a lyric — you know, not dropping the f-bomb in the middle of a song — is worth doing to help out what we are trying to do, which is to just give back to the community.

“'When people think Everyday Joe’s is not Christian enough and other people think we are too Christian, that’s when we know we are in the right spot.'”
