Can The Word Center Reach the Souls of Jackson
Would you be suprised to know that this video is a skit from a church service?
W: In Christianity, there is a doctrine called the Great Commission which is the call of Christian followers to preach the gospel to every nation. Preaching the gospel is not excluded to just relaying scriptures to people or condemning them to eternal damnation, it is also a message of loving your neighbor and serving the community. When we think of the church as a socializing agent, that includes how it is able to first minister and impact the local community. One church in particular, The Word Center, pastored by Roderick Richardson and Minister Tyronda Richardson, has set out to bring change to the city with the soul, Jackson, MS. The Word is a fairly new church that hold services in Callaway High School, and they are not going about the business of ministry with church as usual.
Home Improvement: My Life is Under Construction (message at the Word Center) 
The Word gives back
With a pastor who addresses the congregation on Sunday in jeans and message series such as Love Sex & Relationships which includes sermon titles: Good Loving Aint' Easy to Come By, Fatal Attractions, and I Think I 'm in Lust With You, some may see this church as taboo, while others are excited about services that meet them right where they are. Richardson's biography labels him as a cutting edge prophetic minister with a church vision to bring change to its members with real and relevant messages. Is Jackson ready for this contemporary approach to church? What are your thoughts?
