How does this New Life Church operate
Does one need tickets or reservations to get in for the services? Do you have to be invited? Or are walk-ins accepted? Do they have a dress code? Are black people allowed in? Is it a big place?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Don

1. It's the size of an airplane hangar, or larger.
They get several thousand people at each service three times every Sunday. It doesn't discriminate based on race, walk-ins are encouraged. I'm not sure about any formal dress code, but most people who attend wear "business casual" or jackets & ties.

3. Do they broadcast the services live?
I searched and found that they have three Sunday services. But I couldn't find any tv info.

There are plenty of other evangelists who do!

9. I was hoping to tune in tomorrow to New Life in the Springs
I saw at the web site that they have podcasts. Maybe someone will go in with a small camera to tape some and You Tube it.

5. They have 14,000 members and advertise as charismatic
Translated, they are a bunch of gung ho right-wing Christians waiting for Armaggedon and thought W was the answer and their givings to the church would help their stature at rapture.

I feel sorry for them to some degree. But they enabled W to carry out a war on innocents.
