WHAT YOUR BATHROOMS COULD SAY ABOUT YOUR CHURCH

Your church toilet paper and bathrooms could be communicating something that you don't even realize!

What can toilet paper choice communicate?

I have this theory.

The nicer the toilet paper, the better the church.

It works for hotels.

Ever use the bathroom in a Motel 6? It’s a different experience than in a Ritz Carlton.

Which brings me to the subject of church bathrooms.

Is it possible that church bathrooms tell more about the church than we think?

Yeah, I think so… sometimes.

I know of one church that decks out their ladies room, and they swear that it has made a difference. (It’s a sure fire way to win the ladies over).

I’ve been in other church bathrooms that are like using the bathroom at the BP station.

Is there a correlation?

The short answer: yes.

If your church bathroom looks like 1973 (and smells like a 12 day old rain forest), then I will guarantee that other things in your church are amiss.

Take a moment now. Go visit your church’s bathroom.

What does it say about your church?
