What is the service at Cathedral of Life like?
Warning: Services are exciting. You may feel lead to dance, sing, shout, and praise Him. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, refreshing, and enlivening.
The music varies from, traditional, to gospel, to contemporary. It is very diverse. Music is a powerful tool that can bring people together in God’s presence. Christ longs for those that will worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
The worship here provides a vibrant, uplifting, and meaningful worship experience that allows each of us to express ourselves to God. Church is meant to be a celebration of our personal journeys with God. The worship experience is heart-felt and passionate. Feel free to worship freely; whether you want to dance, rejoice, shout, or just enjoy the presence of a Living God, you can feel comfortable to express your faith and worship in Spirit and in Truth.
The pastor is witty so expect to roll in laughter, yet he inspires and shares life-equipping principles which positively affect your daily life. Everything we do is geared towards helping you live a life of purpose.
Whether you have been around church your entire life or this is your first time, Cathedral of Life has something for you. Our hope is that you will take the next step.

We want you to love church.
To really experience COL, we’d like you to visit us at least two to four weeks. We don’t expect our visitors to stand up or give money. If you want to slip in our service and be anonymous, that’s ok with us. The important thing is that you find a great church home that you and your family can attend regularly.
It’s hard to find a great church home and we want to help you with that. Even if you don’t feel this church is for you, we want to help connect you with a church that will help you grow in your relationship with God.

Can I visit without being noticed?
We won’t make you stand up and share your name. However, someone will say “Hi” to you and shake your hand. Someone will probably ask your name and start a conversation with you. If you visit and no one speaks to you, please let us know, we will put the whole church through sensitivity training.
