Spring Tabernacle to Change Name!!!

If all goes well it will be..............

Champion Life Center.

They want it to be more of a regional church so many will visit. With the recent change to the son James being Pastor now they feel it might be time to change the name too. It is not written in stone, but could be settled very soon.

Do you all like that name??

Great, anything that might make someone call a church a church is going to scare away the public. Everything is becoming a "Center" now...

BTW our church has "center" in the name and I have disliked that for 18 yrs.

I like the word 'Center' to be in the name. It seems that it is saying, Champion Life Center is the place where Champions are. We are the church not the building...the building is the 'Center' of where the church meets. If you do not like the name 'Center' in the name of your assembly then change it or lobby to change it.

True, I like the name center. We changed our church name from 1st UPC to Word Alive Revival Center. I think it is more inviting to the general public. For the new people in our community looking for a church it doesn't scare them off. Once they come inside and the service begins they realize they are in a pentecostal service, but most find that they like it and actually stay and become a part of the church. If the name pentecostal was on the sign they may not have ever came.

I will now because I know a lot of people don't share the same opinion.
