First...this Church is no longer on Old Forest Road, it is located on 2361 New London Rd Forest, Virginia 24551 United States (434) 525-7481.
When I walked through the door and heard U-2's "We Still Haven't Found What We're Looking For" sung with such fervor in the context of seeking Christ I knew this was my church. This type of church is not for everyone but it rocks my soul when I go and I always leave there feeling spiritually uplifted.
The stage is filled with exceptionally talented and gifted artists all fully shrouded in their faith which is why their voices are particulary clear and their smiles so wide during the whole service.
What I love about this church is that it truly is unconditional. On any given day one can walk through the doors and see a guy with a cut off shirt and tattoos, a girl with gothic black hair coloring and piercings, a woman in $300.00 shoes and a guy sporting his Timberland's and fleece all standing in the same circle smiling and sharing stories. To me, that is what Christianity is about. If one truly believes in God, then they have to accept that God made us different and if you believe that God accepts everyone, then why shouldn't you. Give Blue Ridge a Try this Sunday.
Oh yeah...make sure you attend a baptism, guaranteed to make you weep like a little baby. read more
