Romans 10:9 says " if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. We don't do this for show or for fashion but it has become fashionable to be saved or to be amongst those that are sanctified. These days we have many church choirs, community choirs, recording choirs, and etc who clearly choose fashion over thee anointing, but that's not so for Pastor Andre Jones and Levite Community Fellowship Church (LCFC). I have noticed Pastor Jones and his church, especially his church choir who has definitely become a favorite of mine on social media. Just like people go to their newspapers when they wake up in the morning; after prayer I go directly to my phone and on Instagram I look up (we_are_lcfc) to see what latest videos they have posted. The songs and music that Pastor Jones and his choir provides are some of the most amazing worship material I ever heard. Such "Oily" music especially with Pastor Jones on the organ and his wife, First Lady Chelsea Jones leading Praise and Worship. They are a church full of young spirited worshipers, but being that this is a fashion blog I want to speak about their amazing use of vintage apparel.
This choir has really impressed me when it comes to their choice and sense of style especially during ministry opportunities. The women are in amazing pieces from the 70s and 80s (which can be tricky at times) and they find a way to make them modern, which shows their personality. The men are always dapper (which is rare to see these days in choirs) but they feed off of their leader. Pastor Jones is always suited with a tie or a bow tie and a lapel flower. He sets a standard for how Men of God should look when it comes to wardrobe. He has really become a trendsetter when it comes to "Big and Tall" men. I recently did a blog on one of Pastor Jones singers and directress ShaRonda Lassiter, who alone is a force to be reckoned with. This music departments women use of colors, prints, always in order long "Chanel-Like" pearls, and heels (as a woman should be, HELLO CHURCH); the gentleman who always look like gentlemen with their use of colors, lapel flowers, vintage and vintage inspired suits; everyone compliments everyone! It doesn't seem like their style if forced as if they are pushed to put these amazing garments on whereas the garments are wearing them. Most people who try to attempt these looks epically fail but these Levites are setting a trend and I am excited to see what they have in store for the admirers. From their musicians who are sick on their chosen instruments, to the material Pastor Jones writes, to the way the choir follows right behind him, to their wardrobe, EVERYTHING JUST FALLS INTO PLACE. God is not the god of disorder but of PEACE, and if your wardrobe that you minister in brings confusion then you are out of order. I appreciate anointed minstrels who can flow in God, and give us what we NEED and DESIRE in fashion. The season of gloves, oversized hats, and clownery are OVER; thank you Pastor Jones and LCFC for being trendsetters, I'M ON THE LORD SIDE!
