After nine years of featuring places of worship at least once a week, you would think Greensboro Daily Photo would run out of places to feature. One thing that adds to the weekly inspiration and options is the fact that some churches change hands. The above photo is of the church right across from Grimsley High School. It began as Westover Terrace Church. When Westover Terrace Church outgrew the location, Daystar moved in. When Daystar outgrew the location and recently relocated, The Life Church moved in. It is a multi-cultural and multigenerational congregation.
Yesterday, Life Church members wearing blue, church t-shirts were seen working hard getting the church ready for the new congregation about to inhabit the facility. Perhaps they know of the good karma surrounding the building and the fact that, if they are as successful as their predecessors, this congregation will outgrow the facility. This is such an interesting name, The Life Church. Local Pastors Bill and Sharon Motley and Jeramie and Kendra Dawson are starting up Life Church. The are Christian, but with no apparent denominational affiliation. If you want to be part of the launch team of a church, this is your opportunity. As of February 2018, it is open for worship.
It seems that before we pour accolades upon such a venture we'd need to know more about these local "pastors." What I've found to often be the case, is that people get ordained by some off-brand group or even on the Internet or sometimes they ordain themselves. I'd be interested to know where these "pastors" got their master's degree, what seminary they attended, and whether or not they graduated. "Christian" can mean just about anything also.
Sorry to be something of a scrooge but the country is full of self-appointed "pastors" getting rich off the donations of the people they con. That may not be the case here, but I think some questions are in order.''
Have a great day!

I like the building's architecture.
