Oklahoma church: Come drink beer and worship God

TULSA, OK -- Usually you wait until after church to crack open a beer, but one Oklahoma church is inviting parishioners to get started early.

Eastside Christian church is inviting everyone for some suds and songs Sunday with their 'Beer and Hymns' event, reports KOKI in Tulsa.

Church officials say it's an outreach event to discuss the future of the Christian church.

"Everybody's welcome," said Michael Riggs with the church. "No questions are banned. No holds barred. Just come and respect each other's opinions, and just have a good honest conversation about God while having a few beers at the same time."

But before you think the Father's house will become a frat house, they say they're keeping it family friendly. They will be checking IDs and limiting the drinking to three beers per person.
