I am looking for a new church home. Any advice?? (1951 hits)


Well, since we moved to the NE, I have been on a journey. I have been visiting churches and had narrowed my decision down to three of them, as of Saturday. I revisited one yesterday and boy was it cold, in more ways than one. I expected smiles, a warm hello, a warm welcome, but I got nothing. Yes, the Pastor did preach the word. I am sure most of you will say that should be the only reason I attended. My response would be, no, not really. Like on a previously blog regarding watching church on TV, one who chooses to attend church not only attends for the word, but most likely for the fellowship as well. I could have stayed at home and watched TV. I did not go to this church expecting to make new friends. However, when I select a church, I base it on many things, most important, are they preaching the word, another, are the members friendly, warm and good spirited. I had visited this church before and liked it. Maybe they are only extra friendly on the first visit. I want to feel welcomed and I did not feel that way yesterday. It was very dissapointing. Well, they did help me out somewhat. I now have only two to choose from.

Girl after taking a second look at your question...I say let the 'Holy Spirit' lead you! It is important to attend a place where not only you, but where your entire family feel welcomed. Things to look into...the children's program and activities available, the number of married couples in the church, and be sure the pastor has a job other than pastoring. FYI: It makes a difference and if necessary what formal education or training does he/she have. Last but not least look to see if there are any missions programs to help God's people in the community or abroad.
Ok God speed Vanest!
