I found this church from what only could have been a sign from God. I was struggling at the time…read moretrying to switch job fields to provide for my child as a single mother. One rainy morning, I was on the way to work, replaying my rusty job interview responses that did not result in a job offer. Suddenly, the car in front of me slammed on its brakes. To prevent from hydro planning, I swerved into a turn lane to avoid a collision. I had to turn into Hope's parking lot to reroute back onto Patterson to continue my morning commute to a dead end job. I strongly feel like in this moment, God was leading a lost soul back home. I attended that weekend, and the sermon was everything and more. It completely restructured where I placing my trust and faith with keeping a tight control on my life. I handed it over to him that day, and asked him to reveal his plan. Throughout that week, I heard several people repeat a line I had heard in the sermon the prior Sunday. Everything comes back in a fill circle, just like God's plan. This line kept coming back up in conversations with complete strangers. His plan will be revealed in his own time. It will come back in a full circle, but we will not know, while we are going through it. We just have to trust. One of these moments, occurred at my next job interview and I have been a member with Hope over the past 5 years. It has brought so many blessings since. Now I listen for him to guide me. In addition, they have a wonderful youth program for my son. I met my now spouse and we have a strong faith based relationship where God is the center. The music is amazing. The sermons are very scripture based and provide background context to explain why the bible is written in specific vernacular and the intentional meaning behind it. Things I never was taught growing up in my old church. I just love everything about Hope and agree, they meet you where you are. They are friendly, but not pushy. You can become as involved as you wish, and offer tons of classes and study groups. The pastors tend to rotate during each series. They do each have their own style of preaching and depth, but I recommend giving it 2-3 Sundays to feel it out if you are new, before judging a book by its cover. Not every sermon will hit you and be life changing, but they have a lot of very powerful sermons that have so much depth and leave you wanting more. The only thing is it is a pretty large congregation so it can be hard to get to know the pastors and new faces personally on busy Sundays. I recommend coming to a small group or class and get a chance to speak with them in a smaller setting where's its not as busy. Overall, I can't speak more highly of this home church. It's every thing I had been craving as a young and now older adult. I've grown so much in my faith and very thankful for Hope.

I was in the Fort Lee area for a month and needed to find a "church home" while I was in the area…read more I found Christian Life through yelp. I don't think it was by chance I decided on this church...I found the church to be welcoming and a great Christian atmosphere. My "soul" was fed during my time at Fort Lee. I was a bit thrown off by the loud upbeat worship team on my first visit and thought perhaps I stepped into the young adult service, but all services are the same. The worship team loudly, proudly, and full of energy sing their hearts out to Jesus! Great church!!!

Although it's no place like home (Victory Outreach - San Diego), I can truly say the presence of the Lord is here and the word is on point and spirit led. Bishop Glen is truly a man of God and Mother Glen, his helpmate is a beautiful heartbeat. Cons: Services are lengthy (bring a snack in your purse) Majority of the congregation is from an older generation (40+) and so ministry doesn't target the youth as much. Pros: They have a compassinate heart for their elders and have ministries that love on their seniors (they're building a senior community, in fact!) The music is great - a good mix of old and current songs. Place of love and great fellowship. Wednesday night services are down to earth Q&A style with the Bishop which I appreciated when I visited. Great for seasoned Christians. You are welcome and embraced as soon as you walk in and they are happy to have you there. Get plugged in...they have tons of ministries! I do think this is one of the best churches in Richmond.
