My response to this is that any place can be the church; a beach, the racetrack, or your living room.  There are even churches which meet in bars.

The Christ of the Abyss statue is in about 25 feet of water near Dry Rocks, about six miles east-northeast of Key Largo, Florida,  in the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park.
It is a copy of "Il Cristo Degli Abssi," (1954) located in the Mediterranean Sea near Genoa, Italy. The original statue was cast by Guido Galletti.  The copy was placed in the waters off Key Largo in 1965.  It is a popular scuba diving site.

Unusual Christian Places: Daytona Beach Drive In Christian Church

"We like to worship outdoors by the seashore like Jesus did!" Pastor Larry Deitch.
Daytona Beach Drive In Christian Church  in Florida is an open-air church in which everyone can simply drive up to the front of the church building and sit in their automobiles for the worship service.  This means that worshippers can dress in any way they like.

The church is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and invites attendees to join them before and after the worship service for hot coffee and Krispy Kreme doughnuts.  This is so very, very "southern"!  In the American South, we are known for our hospitality and our love for food.  The very thought of Krispy Kreme doughnuts sends many of us into a rhapsody!

Krispy Kremes are yeast-raised doughnuts traditionally glazed and served while still warm, usually accompanied by a cup of coffee.  Some of the older restaurants had glass windows which let diners watch the automated production of the doughnuts from start to finish.  Trays of the finished pastries were then immediately brought out for sale.
