But before we get there, just for our listeners to give them a sort of a sense of relative comparable size before coronavirus, you remember 53 years ago - in March! - what would you have been getting across those 15 locations in terms of weekly attendance? Les McKeown: And we're going to talk mostly about what the impact of the coronavirus has been on the church, not so much spiritually, but from an organizational point of view and just the mechanics of, of delivering what you, what you do. I just, I love every day that we get to do what we get to do here.

So, it's, it's an incredible, just incredible opportunity. And, and to keep our church focused on that as well. And so part of what I do is just keep us aligned on the mission and what we're supposed to be about and how we're supposed to keep, and how we can continue to move forward with what we believe is kind of our mission as a church. And so, communicating to the church, just continuing to, you know, part of what I do is keep our staff aligned. Jason Mitchell: And, and so currently I serve on the strategic leadership team, the strategic leadership team here at the church and I'm in a teaching pastor. but we have a, it's been a wild ride for us. We didn't know how beautiful it was up here. And so my wife, Jenny and I, we were living down South and we, we moved 800 miles away from anyone we had ever known, up in up to Pennsylvania, which, you know, we thought it was just the rust belt. Now I've been a part of the church for 18 years. And so a lot of incredible work happening here. We just try to be involved in communities and seeing transformation happening in communities, economic stability, health and wellness, nutrition, all of that. And we've got other work and projects going on all over the world, across different continents. we've got a pretty significant online audience and influence as well. Jason Mitchell: We are, we have 15 different locations across the state of Pennsylvania. none of us have it figured out, but we're discovering what it means to, to have a richer life in Christ. We're just, we're a bunch of people in process. And yet I actually love that because I think it's a perfect description of who we are. So and so community church, ours happens to be an adjective. And, and I always tell people it's kind of the weirdest name you could possibly think of for a church because most churches are are nouns.

And so not a lot of churches are named with acronyms, but the acronym stands for Lives Changed by Christ, that's LCBC. So I'm a, I'm a part of a church called LCBC church and it's, it's a, it's an acronym. Just for our listeners, tell them a little bit about your own background, and your organization, which is a wonderful church, LCBC, tell us a little bit about it and your role there.
