They have been family to me and a community of faith to help me stand in Christ. The truth that is preached here is God-breathed and comes directly from the word of God. I love that they also have much freedom in the Spirit here. Lastly they do things together as a church that you wish other places would do: movie nights, comedy shows, worship nights, schools on prayer and healing, etc. They have a heart for the Lost, with their weekly food pantry and other outreach programs. Having said all this, I highly recommend this church for anyone looking for a home church.May OUR LORD JESUS bless Pleasant Valley Church mightily. *Special thanks to Senior Pastor K.C and Pastor Allan be sure to meet them, when you visit.They are anointed for you, full of Power & Love.

Unfortunately, there are many "churches" that have a completely different focus. Northside Christian Church is the real deal. Although this is not my church home, I have visited enough times to know they live up to their mission of "Connecting People to Christ and One Another". Both of my sisters and their families attend NCC. I am truly impressed by the church's ministries for children and teens. I am so thankful I was raised in a Bible based, Christian church. It makes me thrilled to see other children have the same opportunity and develop a sincere belief in Christ. If you live in the Springfield area and need a church home, I recommend visiting Northside Christian Church or check out their website to read more about their ministries.

I say this even though I grew up attending a smaller church so much so that the pastor knew each and every family in the congregation. And I like that a lot. I have found that with some large churches with big video screens, big music speakers, big parking lots and big congregations and "campuses" that sometimes the teachings of Christ get somewhat lost in all the other noise. But that is not the case at James River. I have attended several services and the pastors here are teaching directly from the Bible, they are praying and worshipping and they are real about what church is for. They have a wonderful program that they did in May where you can fill a bag with non-perishable food, baby supplies and toiletries to fill a pantry for those in need. That is incredible to me and a very real way to worship. One thing about this church that my mom mentioned is how casual the dress is. If you are accustomed to putting on your Sunday best (we are) at James River Church, I advise that you should be prepared to stand out for being one of the best dressed in a sea of t-shirts, jeans and tennis shoes.

Life Church has 3 Sunday morning services. 8:30, 10 and 11:30. I attended the 10:00am service. A few things took me by surprise. In order. 1) During the offering the pastor stated that if anyone was food insecure or had no place to stay to reach into the bucket being passed and take cash out if they needed it for food and or shelter. That is the first time in my entire life I have ever heard a pastor say that. That is such a true Biblical form of worship. Just beautiful. 2) When the sermon began I was so surprised to see the pastor was being broadcast on all 3 screens. I didn't see that coming and I was kind of curious where the pastor went? Mainly I was curious if I was watching a recording or a live sermon? Where did he go? 3) I brought my Bible with me but the lights in the sanctuary were never turned on at any point so I didn't open it because of course I wouldn't have been able to see it anyway. The pastor had specific Bible verses pop up on all 3 of his screens as he highlighted them at certain points. He was very engaging as he discussed the book of Ruth in the Old Testament. I didn't stop at the counter but it looks like after service they hand out packaged snacks and cups of iced tea. That's very nice.
