Church on Tap is a non denominational Christian Church in Buffalo, NY. They are a community centered group that follows all major tenants of Christianity, and focuses on missional style pratices. They meet at Pearl Street Bar and Grill on Sunday mornings.

Beliefs and Practices
Church on Tap has no organizational hierachy, instead encouraging its members to actively engage in all aspects of ministry. There are no paid staff members; all pastors, musicians and others and bi-vocational. Their place of meeting is also free of charge to the Church, given graciously by the owners of the restaurant. Because of this, all tithes and offerings are given directly to missions or other worthy causes.

The Church encourages living out their Christian faith in everyday life. They follow all Biblical teaching and focus on community, missions, teaching and discipleship. The Church has developed "Rhythms", or everyday practices for their community. They are:

-Seeking God through Scripture (Bible), Prayer, and Worship often. Making time to be in relationship with a relational God.

-Connect with others on the same journey of faith. Share. Relate. Encourage. Live life together.

-Engage the world with love. Make time. Move. Build friendships. Stop. Listen. Share your story and passion with others. Breathe Compassion.

-Give what you can to those who really need it. Your time. Your money. Your heart. Give because you want to, not because you have to. God doesn't need us to give money, but chooses us to be a catalyst for change.

-Get serious and authentic about becoming like Christ. Open Up. Purse discipleship and accountability. Meet with someone you trust regularly and travel together in your journey of faith.
