What church do you go to?

Thunderbird,
Find a confessional Lutheran group and you will hear the truth and not be led astray.

Thunderbird, it doesn't have to be Lutheran. Find a church that is fill of God's spirit and that you feel peace in.

Yup - I am (by baptism and confirmation) an Anglican, but because I have had to move to a different part of town with my mother for a few months, I am currently attending an evangelical church: and even though my first experience of a evangelical church several years ago was not a good one, this one is great. I truly believe its where God wants me right now: whilst I was there on Sunday, praying, I had my first experience of praying in tounges!

Where His spirit is, is the best place to be.

Blessings

I go to Trinity Baptist Church on Wednesdays and Tunnel Hill Baptist Church on Sunday mornings and nights. Great Biblical preaching and Spirit in both churches.

I've been a member of the Vineyard Movement for about twenty years. We've purposely avoided organizing as a denomination, each Vineyard being autonomous accept in matters affecting other Vineyards or the movement as a whole. We believe that that is the way for each Vineyard to focus its ministry activities as the Holy Spirit directs.

Pax Padreest[/quot We need to live as close as we can to the very first church. Paul said If me or an angel from heaven preach to you any other gospel that what I have preached let him be accursed. the church is the people. Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together as the manner of some.As long as we are born again we are all of the body. read 1 cor. chapter 12 one body--

The Lord led us here to the North Country Chapel church.
It is a line upon line precept upon precept teaching church.
Our Pastor, Bob Davis, is an awesome, God gifted teacher.
North Country is an off shoot of The Chuck Smith ministry, that opened door's to the Flower children of the 70's.
Pastor Bob is often threatened because he teaches the truth from the word of God.....
The world no longer tolerates truth.
We love our Lord, or Pastor, and our church

I do not serve a denomination though I attend a baptist church. The true church where Christ is the head and we are His members cannot be contained in a building. We, the nation of Israel are God's people. Without the people there is no church.

A song comes to mind, "father Abraham has many sons, and many sons have father Abraham. I am one of them and so are you, so let's just praise the Lord!"

This is not just a childs song or the christian hokey pokey. This song contains a message.

Amen tellin truth.

I am also Baptist but have some pentecostal beliefs.....I have also been a victim of sexual abuse by a church elder when I was 13.

I have forgiven my abuser and do not blame the church (which my parents still attend) I think thats how I have been able to go back to my baptist roots 3.5yrs ago (to a degree anyway)

I said all that not to sound "Holier Than Thou " because I am far from it .
It breaks my heart to see how the body of Christ suffers because of one person or a handful of people abuse their powe given to them by God..

The church is automatically blamed as well as God and that grieves God and the Holy Spirit.

I attend Neighborhood Assembly of God here in Okinawa My mom and I have been going there for at least a year. We love it. The pastor is very plain spoken. He's not afraid to tell you the blunt truth.

 

[monkeysmom7]

I attend Holloway Tabernacle Assembly of God in Enterprise Alabama. It's a small church but the Love of Christ flows freely there. My family and I love it.

 

[Summoner777]

I go to the central Hamilton Seventh-day Adventist Church, NZ. I chose to attend this church because the doctrine held is proven from the Holy Scriptures. There is no other way to choose a church. The dangerous trend with the majority of Christendom tends to be that a church is chosen because of the worship service or the like regardless of the doctrine that is taught. I want the truth of the Scriptures taught up the front; proclaiming the love and justice of our God and Saviour and boldly declaring the times in which we are living!

 

[snowinheaven]

I go to a Church called Denton Wayside Church of Christ.

 

[Boanerges]

Our home church is Victory Fellowship in Metairie LA. The power and presence of God are incredible, the Word life changing and the anointing of revival is flowing. Hallelujah!

 

[Giggles4God]

We go to Potter's House Worship Center in Harrisonburg, VA. The pastors are Pastors Dan and Renee Garber, Senior Pastors and Pastors Matt and Danelle, Youth Pastors.

 

[Jonah2005bt]

The Salmon Falls Church of Christ.

 

[Daniisalivenow]

I have a question or two
Did God lead you to your church? Or did you choose? Everyone that has posted here, doesn't say how long they have been attending. Have you tried many churches to find the one that suits you?

I only ask these questions, because I am a shy person, and I find myself thinking how daunting it is, deciding which church to go to in my area. I have prayed on this alot, but I am confused and I haven't "felt" right about a churh for me to attend. So now I feel l'm not doing the right thing "waiting for a church to pop up in front of me" by still not going to church, not having any Christian friends and I want to get baptised.

I welcome your thoughts on this, sorry if I posted in the wrong thread, it just felt right on topic for me and when I started replying I realised I could only question! (Whew!):embarasse

I was "christened" Greek Orthodox (so that doesn't help much)

Thanks for the time, God Bless You,
Dani

Daniisalivenow I know how you feel

I remember getting in the church and getting to a pew and getting seated, wasn’t as much a problem as getting up and walking out, with the crowd. Everyone seemed to be with someone, and it brought that lonely, feeling.

Felt the same way going to the movies alone. Getting in wasn’t so bad and getting seated, but after you walk out and everyone is holding hands, or laughing and talking. There was that feeling again.

Then like in a church, go to the coffee room, and get a cup and hold it and sort of stand against the wall while everybody laughs and talks, reminds me of being in a dance hall and standing against the wall, like a wall flower.

If I were ever to do it again, I would use the web. Search out a list of churches in your town. You can read their doctrine anomalously. Then look and see what activities the offer. Bible Study, quilting, scrapbooking, pick something that interests you. You only need one friend to expect and welcome you. Call the contact person and just tell them that you would like to come to their group. They will be thrilled, then you will have someone expecting you, when you do go to the group. And before you know it you will be walking into church and there are YOUR FRIENDS.

People are just preoccupied with their own friends and family. They forget to look around and say to themselves. Is there someone here alone?

The first thing I ever did to “Serve The Lord” was cut verses into puzzle shapes at a church luncheon (first one I ever went to). So everyone had to go around and find their match and sit with that person. Rearranged a few friendships I am sure. Anyway that was back in 1962 or 1963 haven’t got the year straight yet. I accepted the Lord when I was 8 months pregnant in Dec. of one year. In Jan. the next year my son Chuck was born. Then soon after that (I don’t remember who let me cut up bible verses for the luncheon). Even back then I was a VerseLady, but didn’t know it.

You can invite me to your baptism. If not let me know and I will send you something special.

Love in Christ,
Barbara

i attend and regularly participate in activities at the St.Ann's Bay New Testament Church Of God. Sounds like a long name right? We usually just call it the St.Ann's Bay NTCOG. We have our international assembly in Texas I will go there soon...

 

[Daniisalivenow]

Thanks for your reply Barbara and your offer is very sweet. Well I have found a church that looks interesting.

When I googled Pentacost churches in my area, and found Hillsong Church. I am wary of the size though, not just your average hometown church. I have read their mission statement and it seems good, but would love an opinion!

Here it is.....

What We Believe


We believe that the Bible is God's Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our every day lives.
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.
We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the 'new birth' we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues.
We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfil our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.
We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively.
We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
