We know meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating, and going to a new church for the first time can be nerve-wracking. We want to help make your first experience at Real Life Church a great one!

Real Life Church meets every weekend and offers four service times to choose from:

• In-person: Sundays at 8:30 am (no childcare) | 10:00 am | 11:30 am
• Online: Sundays at 10:00 am

Real Life Church is located in Gaston County, North Carolina.

15434 Lucia Riverbend Hwy, Stanley, NC 28120

In total, a Real Life Church service is about one hour in length. Services begin with the Real Life Church band leading the church in music. Song lyrics are projected onto the screens so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. After the music portion of the service is complete, one of our pastors will come out to share a real life message about Jesus.

Sunday's at Real Life are exciting, casual, and relaxed. Come as you are and expect to feel welcomed as our guest.

We believe that kids should have a blast at church every single week - and at Real Life Kids, we make this a priority. The other thing we make a priority is your children’s safety. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process for our Real Life Kids program the first time that you visit. You’ll want to leave yourself an extra ten minutes to get signed in for the Real Life Kids experience. We offer preschool and K-4 services at both the 10 and 11:30 am services. 5th and 6th graders meet at 11:30 am only. Our older students meet at 6:30 on Thursday nights.
