Re: Let The River Run - Christ Church Nashville
Being of UPCI roots, why is this church so reserved and laid back. Just curious....

You can check them out online as they archive their video webcasts. It is the complete service with praise and worship, choir, and preaching. Be sure and watch one that has Dan Scott or L.H. Hardwick as the speaker. I am pasting a link to their sermon page here;

I dont qualify as a Traditional Pentecostal.

Even when it was a UPC church, which it was until 1986, it had a reputation as being more "bapticostal". I don't think it ever fit the image of the typical UPC church. There wasn't the typical dress code, women had cut hair, etc.
The founding pastor, L.H. Hardwick, pastored the church for something like 55 or 56 years until a couple of years ago when he became the Pastor Emeritus and turned over pastoral duties to Dan Scott. Dan also has a UPC background and I believe his father is still a UPC preacher. Dan's family were missionaries to Peru at some point and Dan is very missions oriented.

Re: Let The River Run - Christ Church Nashville
I am listening to a Christ Church service right now... If only there were a Christ Church type church here in my city, I would be there to support it in a heartbeat...and I am sure hundreds of former UPCers would be going along with me.

My wife has had two back surgeries in recent years and the 45 minute drive became too much for her. We have found a church home in the town we live in outside of Nashville.

I really loved CC so I was sad to leave. Thank heavens we found a good local church with a pastor that thinks so much like I do it is scary!
