    I have never had the pleasure of sitting inside for a service. But, this is a beautiful church near one of the best memorial and museums, The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. The church is beautiful inside and out! After visiting the area surrounding the church I like to stop inside and take a moment to take in the beauty of the inside. I like to sit and just be one with my thoughts. This church has wonderful history. I'm sure the congregation is just a beautiful as the church. If you are in the area stop by and take a moment to check out the beauty.

    This is an OLD church (as the name would apply) not far from Downtown Oklahoma City and near the Bricktown area. It's also near the National Monument. My wife and I were on a trip to OKC, so being the good little Catholics we are, we ventured over for the 10am Sunday mass. The church itself has been kept up very well for being over 120 years old, and mass was fairly brisk. They seemed a bit more administratively focused than I'd like, including quite a few announcements before mass even began, and a fundraiser update during the homily, but other than that it was a typical regular Sunday liturgy. They have a kneeler in the front middle aisle for those who prefer to kneel to receive communion. On the northeast corner of the block containing the church, there's a monument entitled "And Jesus Wept" commemorating the tragedy of the Oklahoma City bombing. It includes a couple of panels explaining that the church building and rectory were both damaged in the bombing, and the efforts made to rebuild after. The monument prompted us to return inside the church and inspect in greater detail the crucifix on the east wall, which was amazingly undamaged by the bombing when most of the surrounding parts of the church were.

    I appreciate there being a Sunday afternoon service. Otherwise I would have missed mass this weekend

    A beautiful church located just across the street from the National Memorial. There was damage to the church in the bomb blast but, all that has been rebuilt. There was a house in the rear that was destroyed by the blast. There is a statue of Jesus there to memorialize what happened. The inside of the church is beautiful and if you go down to the basement you can see old vestments, vessels and other things. Unlike many churches we visit this one was open and we were so glad it was. If you visit the memorial take a few minutes to see this. You will not regret it.

    Beautiful church. We went for Palm Sunday and everyone was friendly. Go downstairs and have donuts when you go after mass.

    Catching up on my reviews from my vacation and I never thought to review church but stumbled upon…read morethis so here we go! Life.Church is a great place to come just be yourself and explore faith or worship like you've been a believer for 70 years! If you haven't, please do. This particular location is where my family has attended for the last two years since moving to Oklahoma. Full disclosure, my husband works on the YouVersion team for Life.Church but they in no way solicited my review. Come in jeans, come in sweats, come in a dress or suit... you will feel just find no matter how you show up!! There's always sweet tea, unsweet tea, coffee and snacks in the lobby and no one is going to single you out if you don't want to be asked a million questions, but there is alway somewhere to go to talk to someone as well. There's a wall of community groups to have a look at and often Pastor Stuart or (oh goodness... vacation tiredness has me forgetting the other gals name!! SORRY) are there to help guide you to the perfect community group where you will feel welcome. I've always found this aspect of church the most challenging and they were super helpful in getting us connected. Pastor Jacob is our location pastor. He is such a loving genuine guy, great solid human and I totally respect him. This is a video church meaning the teaching pastor, Pastor Craig is beamed in from either headquarters or pre-recorded studio times (always with a live audience). That may take some getting used to (and to be honest, I hated it at first) but you do adjust to it, and there is still live worship (more on that in a moment) and Pastor Jacob is always there to lead with announcements, to meet with people, pray with people and all that good stuff, and sometimes does the preaching as well. Craig is great at communicating, keeps it interesting and even has fun with it sometimes, which brings me to... JULY!! July is the month to make a visit if you have been on the fence!!! This is the time of year all L.C locations has At The Movies. We spend so much time decking out lobby's out to feel like you are walking into a movie set! It's always a surprise to see just wait waits for you these weeks. During that time, Craig preaches using movie clips. There are often special songs or video montages that start off the service as well. Believers an non-believers alike can enjoy a low pressure church experience here. KIDS: Pastor Stephen and Pastor Katie & Pastor Barbie (among others) run the Life.Kids childrens program... They are AMAZING! Some of my favorite people! I have been serving with them most of this year and you couldn't find more caring individuals who really want to make sure your kids have a great experience in Kid and also to make sure that those serving in Kids ministry feel loved, appreciated and supported. As a person who used to run a much smaller childrens ministry, let me tell you, they do a fantastic job. If you want a great, safe, learning and super fun environment for your kids to attend church, this is the place. Saturday nights or Sunday! YOUTH: Switch is the youth group here and they meet on Wednesday nights. My three girls have so much fun!! There's a great worship time (like going to a massive concert) and then they break up into small groups for a more connected time. They have so many different activities and things to do. My girls are all three so different, shy, energetic, extroverted, introverted, nerd, jock, quiet, loud... all three have found their place here. If your youth is on the fence about trying it... ask them to give it just 3 visits!! See what happens, because it really is a great place! WORSHIP: Worship is loud. You may count this as good, or bad. There are ear plugs provided for those who would like it (I have a sound sensitive teen so she will often grab a pair) or you can enjoy from the lobby before entering if you really struggle. It's a beautiful experience with Visual effects/lyric boards, lights and a full band. Pastor Rob, his wife and all of our musicians are super talented (you can check out the band Switch, look for their Symphony album to make sure you have the correct group on iTunes or Pandora or what have you if you wanna preview) but Sunday live is different. ONLINE: For times when you can't make it in person, you can always login and check out life.chruch online. Same teaching just online instead. There's still worship and such with Church online so you will not miss out completely. There's also lots of kids church videos online for all ages as well... you can look online or load the app on your Roku too. Hope that covers any questions you might have :) Hope to see you there some Sunday!

If you're looking for a place to…read moreblend "high church" (serious cathedral action, big organ, robes, formatted services) with "neighborhood church" (wear what you feel; little old ladies being sweet; a "come as you are" attitude, both in appearance and lifestyle), then this is your place. If you're looking for a church that does acoustic jams, camp-style sing-alongs, and hipster references...you can find that here, but in Sunday School or Wednesday night classes (Presbyterians call it "Kirk Night"; "Kirk" being the Scottish term for church. See? Being a Presbyterian makes you an honorary Scot, which gives you the right to wear tartan, have bagpipes at every special event, and make the claim that "If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!" But I digress...). You'll find a real cross-section of folks here: across ages, incomes, races, lifestyles and beliefs. That's a good thing, but sometimes bubbles pop and splatters happen while the melting pot is cooking. The big thing is that these people are committed to the ideas that God loves us; God loved us first; God loves us regardless; and we should work everyday to share that love with everyone in everything we do. That's not easy, but we do our best to help each other along the way. If that sounds like your thing, or you just like pretty buildings and organ music, stop by. We've got a cookie and a cup of (fair trade) coffee with your name on it.
