As church attendance falls, one group believes that the lure of a burger and fries might make church more appealing.
McMass Project, which is the brainchild of Paul Di Lucca -- a creative director at the church branding agency Lux Dei Design -- is raising funds to put a McDonald's franchise inside a place of worship.
"Christianity is unable to capture modern audiences," Di Lucca told NBC News. "There's a lack of innovation and lack of design thinking in Church communities."
The multi-denominational group has launched a campaign on the crowdfunding site IndieGoGo and hopes to raise $1 million to build the first McDonald's church. As of Friday, only $104 has been raised.
The groups says that the money will go toward purchasing a franchise and construction. The group is currently looking for a church to partner with.
"It's time for churches to engage with entrepreneurship," writes the group on its IndieGoGo site. "By combining a church and a McDonald's we can create a self-sustaining, community-engaged, popular church, and an unparalleled McDonald's restaurant."
The site states that three million people leave the faith every year and that 10,000 churches closed down in 2013, while 70 million people eat McDonald's every day. To attract potential donors, the group is offering T-shirts, hats and vinyl stickers “to adorn your laptop, hymn book and more!”
Di Lucca believes that fast food is one way to build faith in the modern era, but concedes that not everyone will be wild about the idea.
"We are aware a lot of people will think this is an insane idea," Di Lucca says.

Nothing is technically wrong with a church owning a fast food place.... but not mcdonalds because their food is very bad for you. They should look at more healthy alternatives like chopt even subway would be better.

well the restaurant does not have to be in the church all i am saying is that a church can own a restaurant in fact many churches serve food after service any way so i guess this church is trying to create a profitable branch out of that idea -

Chick-Fil-A would be a better alternative since they're closed on sundays. -

Look at this sorry desperate ? .
McDonalds uses additives and substances in their so called foods to trick your body into describing the taste to your brain. And the church is ok with using drugs and fake substances in order to draw them to religion. This is what you call death throes. Given the option, they don't want to provide a meal of natural foods that could actually enhance your body...why? Because they're too damn cheap and they know that ain't gonna entice the next generation of kids to follow their parents to church. This is laughable and un-respectable. I'm glad they're doing this, at least we know where they stand.
