Many of the people here remind me of my grandparents--steady, sincere Christians who tried their best to walk with Jesus in every part of life. Being around them has honestly made me a better person. A typical Sunday includes a few hymns, announcements, and a short prayer over the congregation and pastor. Then Pastor Marv Fisher gives a thoughtful, verse-by-verse teaching as the church works through the Bible in sequence each year. He brings in historical context, maps, and related scriptures, and often explains the original Hebrew, Greek, or Latin. It's grounded, clear, and surprisingly deep for such a relaxed environment. After most services, there's an open invitation for anyone who wants prayer. There's no offering plate passed around--instead, they briefly mention ways to give (online, app, or simple wall boxes). The focus stays almost entirely on the message and on loving people, trusting God with the finances. The leadership genuinely knows the members and prays for us by name when they go on retreats. (Honestly, it hardly sounds like a "retreat"--they take the whole congregation with them in prayer.) I've found this surprisingly comforting; like, I'm not alone in my struggles, they are praying with me. I had never attended a fundamental Christian church before and I still wrestle with some parts of scripture and interpretation by leadership. But I learned quickly that I'm not alone--many of us are working through the hard questions and don't agree 100%. Sometimes we work together, sometimes individually, but always alongside one another. And that sense of shared journey has become one of my favorite things about this church.

All though most of the people were pleasant, there were a few things I found odd about this church…read more 1- There is no Defined religion to this church, it is a mesh up of several different types of religion. 2- The Pastor is into everyone's business a little too much. I am used to having a pastor you can go to when you need to talk, but this pastor seems all up in to knowing everything about everyone. 3- The church to me does not have a homey vibe to it. It feels more like a job setting. No one really looks happy about being there. They smile and act like they are happy but if you watch them their faces tell a different story. 4-I overheard a woman saying that God killed a few people that harmed her. The people of the church were backing and encouraging this woman to tell this story. I have never in my life heard of such things. This woman seems very delusional, and it is very dishearten to see others supporting this delusion. I know that in my lifetime there have been people who have harmed me, and my family and they are still walking this planet. The same woman walks around in flamboyant colored clothing like she wants to be the center of the world. She is an older lady, but she seems to be trying to act like she is still in her 20's or 30's. In my option she seems fairly crazy. But the church encourages her to dress and act this way. In my opinion a church should not be that invested in one member over others expressly one that seems to have some kind of mental disorder. I don't like to write negative reviews, but this is one time that in good conscious could not let it ride without saying something. My opinion can be taken with a grain of salt or not. I can only go by my impressions of what I have seen on the limited times that I have visited this church. But for me I truly think I will stick to my Baptist Roots and go to a church with more of a Baptist structor.

Pastor Jonathan is amazing, the song and worship service is top notch and the church is involved in so many community affairs that it is just good to know that I am a part of something that is a part of the community. The church has such an incredible history that I am sure most people reading this are well aware of it. Coming from California though, it is pleasant to finally meet the Falwell's and to see their ministry in action. When I was in my early 20s I was a radio DJ at a Christian radio station in Santa Maria California and I remember playing Jerry Falwell Sr.'s messages every week. It was a very emotional experience to attend my first service and to go to the Falwell Memorial on the campus for the first time. If you are in Lynchburg, there really is no other place that you should attend church, especially if you only have one Sunday to experience Lynchburg at it's finest. Sort of the church that built the city.
