GOODFELLOW AFB, Texas --  As a Christian have you ever taken the time to ask yourself if it is right to take a life? Ever wondered if a Christian should participate when a nation goes to war? Or...how does a Christian cope with the myriad of temptations and stress of military service? The e-life service addresses these questions and many more in a fun, informative, and interactive format. Typically three different interactive formats are used:

1. Teaching - The Chaplains teach relevant, insightful, and interactive messages from scripture that connect with the military culture.
2. Testimonies - Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, and the Retires share how they lived out a Christian life while serving in the military. All conclude with an interactive Q & A session.
3. Powerful and relevant multi-media from top speakers which address issues that the military member face. Interactive discussion time always follow.
The contemporary worship service is lead by praise teams from local San Angelo Churches who sacrificially give their time and talent.

The vision for e-life is Equipping Christians for Life if a Military Culture. The e-life service begins at 6-7 p.m.
