The classic Indeep song “Last night a DJ saved my life” will now be played in its proper church surrounding. Apparently, in Huntersville, North Carolina, a hip-hop church complete with a DJ on the wheels of steel will move the crowd for the Lord. The church is called Generation One and the Pastor, Quinn Rodgers tells local news media, “We’re trying to reach the unchurched, the de-churched, the folks who have given up on church and are looking for something different. We’ve taken the hip-hop culture and we’ve extracted all the negative connotations out of it and we’ve deposited solid Christian doctrine in there.”
There will be no hymns. Instead, the DJ will spin and scratch and prayerfully somebody, anybody will scream … out for Jesus. The great thing about the service is that it caters to the young between the ages of 19 and 29. The church service is also held on Saturday at 5 p.m., so that allows the congregation enough time to get ready for a night of clubbing at other establishments.
