Grace Lutheran Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma; I had the pleasure of visiting several years for a Sunday Divine Service, and am very glad I did. The church itself is beautiful: classical Western architecture that communicates a place that transcends the fads of this generation or a previous one. Pastor Beecroft‘s sermon was serious, reverent, and most of all, faithful to Scripture, and his teaching in Bible Class was well-prepared and communicated well to the audience. (He has numerous family members that attend Immanuel, and they are a joy to be around.) A video about Grace has been making a splash on the Lutheran blogosphere; the video that has good production values, and the things said there about Grace are a model for churches today:

Perhaps we could borrow their architectural blueprints (assuming they still have them). It's nice to see a parish that doesn't look like an IHOP.
