I went to church in my PJ's

July 10 2007

I don't know if you have heard of this church, but I have been trying to figure out how this church operates since I heard about it about a year ago.  The church is called Life Church.  Their website,

This is an internet church.  I first heard about them when they did a series called "My dirty little secret" and allowed members to confess thier secrets and sins to God on a online blog hosted by the church.  It was a huge success, but the Catholics didn't care much for it.  This got me interested in this church.  How does a church have church online?

Well this past sunday I went.  It started with me waking up, putting my PJ's on, grabbing some breakfast,  and logging on.  Upon logging on, you are asked, which worship to you want.

Option 1, a little edgier, Option 2 more like...Passion.  I chose 1, but the beautiful thing is, you can switch it up at anytime.

You click your worhsip style then directed to the "Lobby"

this is where you will find  announcements, welcome message, and Mix and Mingle.  What is that, well, it is a chatroom where you can do just that with the people across the globe going to church with you, it like the gathering in the foyer of the church, yet it's not.

After chatting, you are alerted by a countdown that Worship have started and it launched off.  Here I am sitting in my living room rocking out to my favorite worship in surround sound on my computer screen.  CRAZY!!  It is a live feed from thier campus in Oklahoma, the worhip was awesome and fun.

They have the song that you are singing, the artist who sings it, and where you can buy it.  Also the words are on the screen for you to sing along.

 

After about  30 minutes of singing went into the message.  They love to intergrate rich media, movies, and excellent theology.  The message was incredible, relevant, and attentive.  The only thing that I had trouble with the video feed freezing up.  I was going to get a screenshot, but couldn't, so here is one that you can watch online now.

the thing that I like the most is that the video feed is to your left, notes, fill in the blanks, and scripture to your right.

 

So my first experience with Lifechurch was great.  I really enjoyed it and I was able to stay home.  

If you are think, "Well you miss the experience of church." Well think no more, if you are interested in having the church experience, you can experience it all live in Hendersonville, TN  lifechurch has launched one of their  12 campuses there in Hendersonville, so if you want a very relevant, edgy, integrated church, check them out. www.lifechurch.tv
