We've made so many friends, some still here, some have moved because of their military careers, but even the ones that have left we still keep in touch with. We are a small church with BIG plans, BIG ideas, focused on community, outreach & connection. Our connect groups are really where we grow the most. They run about every 8wks, with a shorter summer session. Leader's, as well as the studies, change each session. Some groups are for All, some for Women only or Men only, or specifically for the youth. Because of Covid, like so many others, we became very good at Zoom and are continuing to offer some Connect Groups via Zoom. CHR is very active in the community and has an outreach group in a Chesapeake neighborhood where we volunteer each week. We help with homework, play games, have a summer camp and Thanksgiving & Christmas we always do something special for the families. It has been a dedicated 7 yrs of working within this community with an on going commitment that will continue until. If you're looking for an authentic, bible teaching place to grow in your faith, then give CHR a try. It's a friendly place with a welcoming atmosphere. We've got some great pastors, each of them with their own unique way of sharing God's Word. I'm always amazed at how God speaks to you through others and that is exactly the kind of thing that happens in this church!

Controlling and Communism at ASBC? I have attended ASBC for almost 30 years. There have been 4…read morepastors over that time. I have respected and trusted the former ones biblically. The current one has a style of leadership that has made me pause and wonder if it is a fit nor me now. Covid has affected every church, ASBC was one of the first to reopen in the area over 1 year ago, but with many restrictions. They have loosened up a little but still seem to have many state restrictions that have no medical or health benefits. Other changes was sneaked in and have disturbed me. It may be just me. 1. Bible study life groups are an important core of ASBC. It is a way to get to know a small group in a large group. When the pastor came about 6 years ago, he offered the option for the Life Groups to pick our own Bible Study Class info and books or use a study he chose. Option seems good. The pastor started a new about 2 year sermon study in Jan 2021. He now changed the Life Groups to be required to study only based on his sermon that week. He also provided the information to study that he wrote. No free choice in that anymore. (His indoctrination?) 2. Also tithing and Giving is very important to ASBC. In the past, You could tithe to any of the missions, pantry for the needy or regular church expenses you chose. I was unhappy to find out recently that the only option offered for donations is to the "Forward" program started about 2 years ago. (I didn't understand how that came about and my questions about that were ignored). I guess the pastor decides where your $ goes. That sounds a little too communism/ socialism than I prefer. I have decide to give the $ I would be giving to ASBC, to other Christian Organizations with common goals and beliefs. I like to be able to decide this for myself and not give that decision to others.

When it comes to places of worship I always leave 5 stars and use my review to explain the…read moreexperience I had/what can be expected. I understand that so much of a worship experience is subjective so I hope to be more factual than opinionated. New Life Church at Town Center is one of four campuses of New Life Church in Hampton Roads. New Life as a whole is a multi-ethnic, interdenominational church. The Town Center campus is small in comparison to the other campuses and meets at 9 AM and 11 AM on Sunday mornings. There are greeters at the doors to the church and the doors to the sanctuary. An information desk is situated to the left when you walk in from the front for anyone that has questions or needs direction. Coffee is usually served freely between the two services around 10:30. The church service typically runs for about an hour and a half. It starts with worship that is a combination of hymns, modern worship, and original songs from New Life. You can expect a charismatic time of worship that includes clapping, singing, and reading Scripture corporately. If you happen to attend on a communion Sunday then you can partake because New Life has an "open table" philosophy which means anyone that understands the significance of communion can receive it. After worship, there are announcements that pertain to the whole of New Life and the individual location, the collection of the offering, and a time to greet each other. At this time a large screen will appear in front of the sanctuary so that the sermon can be streamed from the main campus by the head pastor. After the sermon one of the campus pastors will give the benediction and release the congregation. If someone needs prayer then they have a team at the front ready to pray with you. That's the basics of what you can expect if you spend a Sunday morning at New Life Church - Town Center.

Just noticed the other review from Bree and I feel the need to respond as while it is her opinion…read moreto me it's way off base from reality. The thing that clearly she doesn't get is that the Catholic Church of today unlike maybe say a hundred years ago does not have the same place or meaning in people's lives as it once did. Back then it was assumed that if you're family was Catholic you would be an automatic cradle to the grave member as well. Like it or not, that no longer is even remotely true. There are many reasons for that and while members/parishioners share a lot of blame in that so does The Church itself. Between various scandals involving their personnel, mismanaged finances with bishops/cardinals living in multi-million dollar posh Cribs-worthy spreads all the way down to services/priests who are cranky-poor orators-do zero to engage their congregation to simple things like music that is boring/awful/less than enthusiastic. Like it or not but the Catholic Church is like a cabinet or a type of pasta or a charity where it is no more than a product or a commodity and if people don't feel that they're getting bang for their buck or any ROI or that they have no say into what's going on, they'll walk. What that leads to is what is going on country wide right now with massive school & church closures/consolidations which I know all too well as I've been personally through one school closure and in my area there have been nearly a dozen church closures over the last decade. The thing that I liked about Church of the Holy Family is while it most certainly is very different they attempt to engage the community/congregation which is what is going to keep this place open for years to come versus some outdated approach of "Here's how it is or else" which clearly no longer works. The idea of this place having less Catholicism than an Episcopal service is just stupid hyperbole. Look, the Latin Mass isn't coming back in any wide spread usage other than the occasional once a week gimmick at best at maybe one parish in a diocese just like the changes that happened in Vatican II also are not going away either. So, you can either embrace the future of what is clearly the writing on the wall for parishes that want to thrive/survive or you can hang onto a old, dead and dying way of worship that will have you church hopping the rest of your life as churches who do not adapt will continue to close.
