Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

The New Addition

I missed our first 4Him evening of worship and communion a couple of months ago as I ended up making a last minute 48 hour trip to Scotland for a funeral. So I'm really looking forward to Thursday for my first opportunity to participate in this new addition to our schedule.

We have a great team of musicians and singers, who are committed to their ministry, so it's great to have a night every second month when they can do what they do best - help us to worship God.

Years ago we used to be of the opinion that the longer the worship time, the better the service and that was often totally true - for those of us who were already Christians and who were able to participate, that is. But nowadays we have regained our focus and have come to appreciate that our major gatherings are not just for us, they are the main portal for people to come into our church and to know Christ.

So on Sundays we are sensitive towards our unchurched guests and try to organize things so they hear about Gods love in an environment where they feel at ease. It's all about them.

So 4Him is a believers' gathering and there is the opportunity for extended praise and worship, prayer and for communion. So like I said, I'm looking forward to Thursday - be sure to join us!
