Jun said:Why do you go to your church? Is it because most of your friends go there? Is it because it is based more on your own background? Is it because its a large congregation?
What is supposed to decided which church to go to?
Any advice and comments would be great!
Thanks
Jun said:Elders...Decans...we have senior pastor, associate pastor and a few more reg pastors. I dont really bother talking with other ppl in the congregation because they are just going to forget or not talk to me. Or I just ask them something and they judge me and tell me some other advice. No one takes the time to actually "talk" so. Im not trying to say negetive things about my church. They mean good. Maybe they dont take me seriously because I look young.
I always try to get involved in stuff like home group or stuff like that but they never bother to phone me back and tell me what im supposed to do.
Its a busy busy church haha
It has somewhat to do with your personal preferences. If you prefer contemporary music, then you may not be comfortable in "traditional" worship settings. Do you believe that women should wear dresses and high-heeled shoes to church and men should wear suits and ties? or do you feel more comfortable in casual attire? In checking out churches, get there ahead of the service time and see how people are dressed. Also, notice how many are in your age group.Jun said:Why do you go to your church?

UknowMe,uknowme said:o..wow .....this is a very good question...
why do i go to church...
i think i used to go to church cause i wanted to see my friends at church
cause i didnt really get to see them during the week...
then i went to church cause i really liked it there and had heaps of fun!!!!!
and now i go to church cause my fam goes and my parents want me to go....
i mean thats a wrong reason but hey its fine for me...i mean if they wouldnt say i
have to go i dont think i would go any more....but o well thats a different story...!!!!
i dont think i can give u any advise how to look for a church...cause i never had to look for a church to go to i always went and still will go to the churches my fam goes to...
but i think u should go to a church where u feel at home and welcomed!!thats important...i think!!
god bless

Jun said:The only reason I am at this church right now is because i am involved in a ministry, as well as everyone knowing me. By knowing me I mean ppl coming up to me and say "hi how r u" etc etc. I can honestly say that no one has ever reached out to me and said "how is your spiritual life?"[QUOTE]
Wow, this is a challenge to us Jun!!! Thanx
Jehovah Jireh said:If you say you love the service, worship and listening to the word, and involved in ministry it sounds like you are enjoying your current church, and the way forward is to pray for more christian fellowship in a deeper level, its amazing wot who god can put in your way to give you that deeper fellowship and guidance, when you ask him.
