In a unique bid to attract new converts, a church in Shipley, England, has opened its doors to professional wrestling. The unorthodox approach has drawn in crowds, with churchgoers cheering on local wrestling hero Billy O'Keeffe as he takes down opponents like Disciple. As the sound of body slams and cheers fills the air beneath the church's stained-glass windows, the church hopes to reach a new audience and spread its message through the power of sports entertainment and community outreach, using innovative church growth strategies and evangelism methods to build a stronger faith community.
