So this Sunday I went on another religious adventure to Riverview church. It was great when I first arrived it reminded me of my home church in Colorado called Radiant, an Assemblies of God Church. Coffee bars, child care centers, and tons of diversity. When walking in the worship center I was a little taken back. The stage looked like a Lincoln Park concert and in bright blue a picture of white Jesus in an abstract pose held the main view. It was really cheesy and made me laugh inside but I had to remember the real reason I was there. The big fancy lights and concert quality normally turn me off; it tends to make me think the church is putting on an entertainment show to bulk what they lack in faith.
This was actually the opposite there were a number of pastors who held position. Female and male which really excited me. The praise and worship was just as amazing as the stage. The congregation was what really made me enjoy the service. Everyone was excited to be there learning and praising Jesus. I was also taken back by how many young people were in the service tons, and tons, of them. This church made it cool to love, worship, and share Gods love with other people. The message was also really good pastor Haydn Nelson was great hilarious but had a way of giving the message in a way that everyone could relate. The only issue I did have at this church was the lack of bibles and encouragement of biblical reading. All the ministers carried one but none of the members. We are going again next Sunday, and I’m anxious to get a good seat!
