Look at that old church, getting hip to the know! After forgiving John Lennon a few years back, organized religion today made another attempt to be cool, this time at the hands of a 37-year-old self-described "hipster" reverend who founded something called the Hipster Church, which is a story we are absolutely not making up.

Rev. Gage Jung is the head of a new group of worshippers at his Hipster Church in Flushing. "We're not trying to make a church like the one your parents went to. We're trying to make a church for our generation," said Jung in an interview. What that means, according to the Daily News article, is services to the sounds of a religiously-inclined indie band, with a Bible iPhone app, and "an informal mingling where participants listen to indie rockers like MGMT and Arcade Fire." Gage has currently only recruited about 32 people (how is it possible there aren't hundreds of other hipster Christians out there?!) but hopes to have a walloping 100 by this fall.

Intrigued, we clicked around the Hipster Church's website, looking for some rocking tunes or some photos of what would surely be attractive young worshippers, but instead, all we found was "We take our vision and passion for Jesus seriously" and "We believe the church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost," which sounds a little less like Arcade Fire and a little more like these guys to us.
