Pastor Robinson is great he is so down to earth and so is First Lady Robinson they are very approachable. He has some family members in the church as well and they are great as well. In this church unlike some churches there are no big I's and little you. He treats his immediate family no differently, than he treats any one else. He knows is members by name, he knows whose child belong to who, you are not just a number there. I am there every Sunday and I promise you if you come one time you will be hooked and you will be here every Sunday, as a matter of fact you will beat Pastor Robinson here. So come and be blessed.

St. Benedict's is a local catholic church, complete with a school, in the Museum district... it…read moregets a good amount of support from the community and having the school keeps it a very vibrant part of the neighborhood, but from the times I have been there it seems like a very conservative Catholic church, which can be intimidating. It's incredibly picturesque, as it was built in the early 1900s. It's got the traditional stain glass windows, and a balcony in the back on which a giant organ resides (and gets a lot of use during masses). If you are looking for a place to get married, this is a good choice. The front alter is colorful but traditional, and there are a few smaller alters on the sides that give a solemn feel to the inside of the church. The pews are all wood, in good condition, and it has a high loft-like ceiling with exposed rafters. The pictures don't do it justice... if you like architecture, this is probably a good building in Richmond to check out. They say a good portion of their masses in Latin... if you are a regular church-goer and know the words anyway, it's nice to hear them in such a melodious language... if you aren't familiar with the mass and can't speak latin, you may get a bit lost. When I was a member here (when I lived in Carytown) I found the lady working in the parish office to be really nice and helpful- I needed some paperwork for my upcoming marriage and she was awesome about getting it sent up to the parish in Philadelphia where the ceremony would be. She also told me about a class for engaged couples that wasn't a weekend retreat, which was inexpensive and whose schedule was very convenient (2x a week for 2 weeks). I couldn't find any information online, so she was a real lifesaver.

Father Tony is the pastor here. Ed Owens,who currently serves on the alter, is about to become a…read more deacon and we are so excited for him!!! Come see him get ordained this October 2018 at the Cathedral. Father Tony is a great confessor and is a wonderful man. His homilies are down to earth and very heart felt. Nothing here is watered down. Come to mass here if you want traditional mass. Less latin at 830 am mass and lots of singing and the choir at 11 am. We have mass on Saturdays too at 530 pm for those who prefer evening mass. We have no choir during the summer. Joel is our choirmaster. Hes funny and quirky and very loveable. Sang in the choir in 2007-2008 before I had kids and we had Jim Dorn as the choirmaster. He was great but was super hard to please. Joel gets frustrated with the choir too but gives us a break b/c we are a bunch of non- professionals. Very few of us who sings in the choir have music degrees. Anyhow, we have great fellowship, a moms group, do Endow classes, bible studies and some religion classes are offered at the church from time to time. Been coming here since 2006 and really can't say enough good about this church. ONE OF THE BEST CHURCHES IN THE CITY.

This a a review on their Christmas Event for 2019. The performance was 5 star worthy - It was…read moreWONDERFUL - up to the very end. Then the musical pastor came out and it all became creepy and that's when the stars dropped! The production - phenomenal! The number of people that were part of it was mind boggling and we're talking regular people like you and me. Not Broadway performers! But I'm telling you, they were good! A must see! But....leave right after the last act! After the last act, the musical pastor came out and spoke about a little about the production but no real praise for the cast. He praised the sound guys and then he had us sing O Little Town of Bethlehem. Nice touch. He then starts singing another song on his own and I honestly now felt like I was at a concert for someone I didn't really want to see.....THEN, all of these women dresses purely in white with caps on their heads started entering the sanctuary two by two and walking as if they were in a wedding. You know the 'march'. This is when it got creepy. Anyone who has watched The Handmaid's Tale will know what I'm talking about! The man is still singing his heart out and then ANOTHER man starts singing and the women (there might have been a couple guys dressed up too!) keep marching to the stage. Then man #3 starts singing and Jesus and the angels drop from the ceiling and I'm wanting to leave because I am feeling like this has now turned in to a concert highlighting these men who are surrounded by what appears as subservient women. Nothing about the epic performance of the cast. No curtain calls for them. Just glory for the men! I would love to see it again but would definitely leave when the true performers finished.

This year's production was not equal to the the previous years.

Come on West End Assembly of God, you are much better than "A Timeless Hope".

I had to walk out because I came to hear the word, be amongst my people but if that means being attacked this church and all it's rich history is not the church for me.

I think church's should tell us if they are democrats or republicans because to be completely blindsided like I was today wasn't cool.
