Does anyone know anything about these churches? They are affiliated with Mark Driscoll from Mars Hill in Seattle. They are supposedly Reformed, at least Calvinistic.

There is a plant in my town which is a bedroom community. They started off with 200 in attendance and everyone talks about the renew energy with their Christian walk.

John,

To be blunt and perhaps not entirely fair: they are emergent churches for 5-pointers.

This is not entirely true.
Mark Driscoll has distanced himself from the Emergent movement.
However, I say that not to endorse the movement, for Mark Driscoll at times will use unbecoming (for lack of a better word) to make a point in his sermons.
If you have ever listened to Mark Driscoll preach you will know that he doesn't hold any punches back, he is not afraid to call sin, sin.
As far as I can tell his Gospel message is sound as well, but I for one can not support him, before he cleans his mouth out.
I can't really speak to the style of his services, because I haven't looked into that aspect.
