ALPHARETTA, Ga.—Up-and-coming financial execs. Young people. Rock music. A new Atlanta-area bar? No, a congregation updating ways to serve its audience.

The minister at LifePoint Christian Church, in the heart of the Georgia 400 Corridor's corporate climate, is a former corporate banker. The 39-year-old pastor, Chris Stovall, serves many members from young, corporate America who come to the church because it serves up worship in a style they feel comfortable with..

According to NorthFulton.com, a community newspaper Web site, the average age of church members is 32, and many of the elders who founded the church are not yet 40. So the Christian rock music and a sanctuary full of café tables fit the demographic.

Sermons seem right, too. A month ago, Stovall underwent a dental exam on stage while he delivered a sermon on spiritual maintenance.

"People want to believe in God, but I don't know if a lot of churches are doing a good job in how [religion] applies to what they are doing tomorrow," Stovall said.

He lamented that many people lose interest in church between ages 16 and 20. LifePoint leadership wants to bring those people back, he said. One way is by using author Rick Warren's 40 Days of Purpose program, which will provide perspective on why people come to church.

"It's kind of stopping to take a look at why you are at church," Stovall said. "When you are reminded of that, you can get more out of the experience."
