I'm a longstanding member of The Life in Woodbridge VA…read more In 2001, after returning from a military assignment in Germany with 3 kids, we were looking for a good church home during time of 9/11. We wanted a place where we could develop friendships and where our kids could participate and grow. We found several military & civil service families there, and now 19 years later we are watching our kids go off into the military, graduate college, and go to college, etc. For me, church hopping was not in the cards for my family. I wanted my kids to grow up with in one church and have a place to come to where everyone would know their name. My kids received love packages while in college. We have a church family that shows up when we celebrate graduations or other events. We have a church family that joins together to help us if we are sick or if a loved one dies. When I was promoted to into the Senior Executive Service (SES), my church family showed up in large numbers to celebrate with me for the pinning service. I'm so grateful for how my church family surrounded us with love and helped us prepare an honorable funeral service for my 95 year old father in law, a WWII veteran. They also cooked, served food, and they cleaned up after the repast. They wouldn't let us lift a finger to help, they proudly and graciously said that it was our time to rest, mourn and be served. There's always something to do in the church, and getting involved helped us meet other people early on. We didn't stand on the sidelines and leave it to chance. I can't tell you how many things we've done as a family but it includes ushering, greeting, drama ministry, dance ministry, choir, deacon ministry, mission trips to Africa, organizing fundraisers, Community Development Corp, media production ministry, vision board and strategic planning, vacation bible school, back to school giveaways, holiday meals, meals for the homeless, marriage ministry, retreats, etc. We are having service online now due to COVID-19. https://thelifedc.org/ If you want and need a family to LOVE on YOU, visit us online and get involved.

I have visited this church several times over the past few months because I was told it used to be…read morea great church. Tried multiple times to give it a chance but will not be back. First visit was on Mother's Day weekend and a lady was preaching. Have zero issue with women preaching, but she was so horrible. I later learned this is the pastors wife. Someone should also tell her how to dress in church. There was no meat to her message. It fell flat and her arrogance was evident. The service is too long and it is like they are trying to force the holy spirit into the room and onto people. Many people seemed nice from the congregation but that was all that was positive. Decided to give it another try, and this time the pastor was preaching. Seems like a nice guy, but his message was at the level for school kids and not adults. I was not fed at all. Several people in the congregation were on their phones, a couple were head nodding sleepy, and most just looked like they wanted it to be over. They do not feel genuine to me. It seems scripted, and all they want is your money. Finally, decided to give it one more try because a friend who used to attend here recommended it. Come to find out she left before this new pastor came in and wasn't aware. She said Pastor Roberts and his wife were sincere, genuine, and lovely people who loved the Lord. I regret my 3rd try. The youth pastor I guess, was preaching. WOW! Horrible! Is arrogance a requirement in this church? Does no one believe in dressing for the Lord on Sunday mornings anymore. This "pastor" made me feel icky and I would not put a child of mine within 10 miles of this guy. I felt dirty and like I needed a shower after listening to him. Also, I am pretty sure that they sang the same couple of songs on two of the occasions I was there. Does the guy leading the music not know more songs?? Also, which seemed weird for an adult service, two girls were on the praise team and seemed really young. The youngest one had a decent voice, but looked like she should be leading in the youth church, not adult church. She was up there on more than just the last visit. Attendance seemed low on all visits. The seats were not even half filled. I guess the new leadership is not up to par for people here and many have left. My friend inquired and said many left due to the new pastor. Hate this was not better. I was looking forward to it. I felt like God was not here. I felt a strong demonic presence here and just can't come back. Will be visiting other churches in the area!

FBCW's "First Family" is very welcoming and warm from the moment you walk in the door. With a very robust children's ministry, an active teen ministry, military ministry, men's ministry, women's ministry, and small groups for every demographic you could think of, there is a place for you here! The preaching is gospel-centered, the vision for outreach is obvious, and the commitment to the accurate teaching of God's Word is paramount. Church has a traditional service at 08:30 and contemporary services at 1000 and 11:30, and a Hispanic service at 1:00 PM on Sundays, and small groups that meet throughout the week.

And lately, they have been really acting as arms and legs of Jesus by engaging and supporting the community with badic needs, through school suplies fairs, meals and groceries, Christmas boxes and gifts and many other meaningful practical help during covid. It has helped my own abd my family's spiritual maturity journey tremendously. I only wished there was more diversity, that represents the Woodbridge area.

Awesome message this morning on preparing your 2015 Personal Strategic Plan…read more There are 6 areas we should focus on: 1) Faith - most important! What am I going to do to prioritize my commitment to God? 2) Fitness - God wants the body of Christ to be healthy physically, emotionally, and mentally. You can't be a blessing to others if you are always sick. Never stop learning and get some real rest so our body restores. 3) Finances - Sow, pay God. Save, pay yourself. Spend, pay your bills. 4) Family - pray together, share feelings, and praise each other. 5) Friendships - you are only as strong as your circle! Who are you going to eliminate and who are you going to connect to? Bad company corrupts good people. Develop friendships where you can add value and receive value to get you to your destiny. 6) Fun - what are you going to do for fun in 2015? You work too hard not to enjoy the fruits of your labor. God wants us to have a rich and satisfying life. Plan a family trip and take it. And most important, find an accountability partner in these areas to assist you. God bless and visit us at Zion Church on Sundays at 10am.
