When and where does Church Relevant meet?

  • Church Relevant has two identical encounters each Sunday morning:  9:30 to 10:30 and 11 to noon.  We meet at 806 US HWY 70 East in New Bern, North Carolina. (directly across from the Bojangles in James City)

What should I wear?

  • It doesn't matter to us what you wear. But we'll be in our favorite pair of jeans. (you know, the ones that make our butts look great)

Better movie...Braveheart or Gladiator?

  • Glad you asked that. Unfortunately, this is one of those controversial questions that may be unanswerable. Today we feel like it's Braveheart, but depending on our mood tomorrow, that could change.

What style of music do you sing?

  • Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, Charlie Hall, etc. (Please don't misunderstand, these guys don't actually come here...we just sing their songs)

How long is the service?

  • 1 hour. Anything longer than that and our a.d.d. starts to kick in.

Why do you call your church service an encounter?

  • Every time we meet we hope to encounter God. (And it just sounds kinda cool.)

How can the weatherman be wrong so often and still have a job?

  • We don't know...that's a mystery.

What denomination are you?

  • Seriously? Are people still asking that question? We are a non-denominational church. 

Who is Church Relevant accountable to?

  • Church Relevant is a partner church with Liberty Christian Church in Havelock, NC, and we relate to Pastor Tom Roberts. In addition, Church Relevant belongs to Church Foundational Network. Church Relevant also has a Board of Overseers in place in case Bryan goes all crazy, builds a compound, and takes eight wives.

Is American Idol still cool?

  • Uhhhh, no.
