Life Church has 3 Sunday morning services. 8:30, 10 and 11:30. I attended the 10:00am service. A few things took me by surprise. In order. 1) During the offering the pastor stated that if anyone was food insecure or had no place to stay to reach into the bucket being passed and take cash out if they needed it for food and or shelter. That is the first time in my entire life I have ever heard a pastor say that. That is such a true Biblical form of worship. Just beautiful. 2) When the sermon began I was so surprised to see the pastor was being broadcast on all 3 screens. I didn't see that coming and I was kind of curious where the pastor went? Mainly I was curious if I was watching a recording or a live sermon? Where did he go? 3) I brought my Bible with me but the lights in the sanctuary were never turned on at any point so I didn't open it because of course I wouldn't have been able to see it anyway. The pastor had specific Bible verses pop up on all 3 of his screens as he highlighted them at certain points. He was very engaging as he discussed the book of Ruth in the Old Testament. I didn't stop at the counter but it looks like after service they hand out packaged snacks and cups of iced tea. That's very nice.

The worship leader Josh Thompson I have known for 20 years, we go back to Calvary Temple. Recently Pastor Josh became the head Pastor and can NOT get enough of his teaching. He IS spit on, non judgemental in everyway. More full of Joy and live fir everyone. I came back about 6 months ago, girst Sunday I heard tge bews of his elevation in duties. He is such an annointed Worship leader, he is missed in that role. If l hadn't known him for so long, I'd think he truely is a Angel of God. Pastor Gary was wonderful to, but in his words...Josh is going to take us higher, where l could not...(that may not be word for word, but believe it to be) It takes a big man to pass on the torch of Hope to another & admire Gary for seeing the giftings Josh has. The entire church is welcoming, friendly. A very large addition for our babies to young adults, was finished recently. This investment has shown that HOPE stands up to its name, our children are the Hope for the future. Praise our creator for HOPE CHURCH. Come, Wedsday evening at 5, we have a wonderful homemade dinner in the FAMILY CENTER with worship and prayer service at 6:30. Sunday morning there are 2 services 8:30 & 10:30am.

I say this even though I grew up attending a smaller church so much so that the pastor knew each and every family in the congregation. And I like that a lot. I have found that with some large churches with big video screens, big music speakers, big parking lots and big congregations and "campuses" that sometimes the teachings of Christ get somewhat lost in all the other noise. But that is not the case at James River. I have attended several services and the pastors here are teaching directly from the Bible, they are praying and worshipping and they are real about what church is for. They have a wonderful program that they did in May where you can fill a bag with non-perishable food, baby supplies and toiletries to fill a pantry for those in need. That is incredible to me and a very real way to worship. One thing about this church that my mom mentioned is how casual the dress is. If you are accustomed to putting on your Sunday best (we are) at James River Church, I advise that you should be prepared to stand out for being one of the best dressed in a sea of t-shirts, jeans and tennis shoes.
