You're about to take steps on a creative journey. Building an alternative worship service cannot be done by one person alone. Neither can it be the fruit of a single imagination. You need a group of people with you. It took me over two years - from 1991 to 1993 - before finding a group of people committed to creating this kind of worship environment. Even then, it may be several months before you all feel ready to make a first step.
Meet together. Eat and drink together. Dream together. Find out what each other is good at, or passionate about. Discover new skills and teach them to one another. Learn what it means to have a shared imagination. Learn good group dynamics: some people may be instinctively better at this than others, so give yourselves time to settle down as a group. Learn to compromise together in the interests of something you can all own.
Finally, when you are ready you need a venue and relationships with people who will support you.
