The Whole Life blog is a place to find stories about faith journeys, ponder the thoughts of selected leaders throughout the interfaith community, and explore ideas about how we inspire one another and connect. The name suggests two ways of thinking: That we are ever seeking those things that lift our spirits, help heal us and make our days a little brighter. And that our reach is inclusive, gathering all who are open to good will across cultures, religions and personal philosophies. After all, we are one world, one people. |

1. Village of Faith Ministries (Chesterfield location) true “come as you are” atmosphere, length of service, genuine friendliness of members, sermons are taught in series, sermons are relevant and pratical, yet they challenge us to live holy, outreach that this church provides to the community at large, proximity to where I live and work, life groups (f.k.a. ministries) this church provides for all age groups - walks of life. These are just some of my reasons
2. Village of Faith Ministries (Henrico location) same reasons as #1
3. Fresh Anointing Cathedral COGIC - takes me back to my COGIC roots, music, preaching, hooping
4. New Deliverance Evangelistic Church - reminds me of my COGIC roots, preaching, music
5. Mt. Gilead Full Gospel Baptist Church - ministries,music, preachig
6. Mt. Olivet Church (25th & “S” Streets in Churchill) - music
7. Faith Landmark - preaching, teaching, music, ministries, conferences, guest preachers
