I've always been fortunate enough to belong to amazing churches. I grew up in the Nazarene church. I grew up with my best friend being in the church and had a firm foundation of the knowledge of Christ at United Church of the Nazarene. In 2003, we switched churches to Central COTN, and later Center Pointe, to which I was apprehensive at first, but ended up loving it even more. ((Luckily I had the same best friend to help me get through the changes)). When I went off to Ft Myers, I tried 2-3 churches and walked into an Assemblies church that I just immediately felt connected to. I went there all 4 years I was there.
I moved back home for good over the summer last year. I attended Center Pointe for a while, but I knew that this was no longer the place I was meant to be. So, I decided to start church searching, expecting the same, easy-go-lucky experience that I had before... WRONG!
Here I am, a year later, and I am just not content. I began reading Rick Warren's 40 days of Purpose and it was a real eye opener that I not only need to attend church, but become part of the church. I need this for SoO many different reasons. [If you haven't read that book, now is a better time than ever!]. I've tried so many, but I just have not found the place I feel I belong. I've been regularly attending two churches, and they are excellent churches that really have the mission of the church down. They are absolutely opposite of each other. If I could find a mix between the two, I would be golden.
I have been praying about this journey for a long while. If you would join me in praying that I find the church that I am meant to be at., that would be great! Also, if you have any church suggestions, let me know!!
Thanks friends :)
