Southern Town Looking to Squeeze in a Couple More Churches

Boasting a population of 44,000 and home to 885 Christian churches, city planners in Teakusville, TN, are desperately trying to squeeze in “just a couple more churches.”

This according to Mayor Michael Hornborough, who says, “Just like a body during cold, lonely winter nights, the soul also needs blanket coverage. And that’s what we here in Teakusville have sought to do, fill our city with the ubiquitous presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Real estate in this small southern town has been scarce recently, but city planner Dave Bell says practicalities should never stop those inspired by the spirit of God. “We hope to convert an abandoned mine shaft into a kind of tunnel to the Lord,” Bell says. “Then we’ve got a railroad crossing that only gets about three trains a week—surely we can put something there and be mindful that someone is always keeping a lookout.”

When asked whether anyone living in Teakusville is not a churchgoing Christian the mayor was shocked. “Who? Do you know their names? How many?” Hornborough shouted. He immediately called Bell on the phone demanding that 24 more churches be erected.
