Finding A New Church

Return to original post


Dear Jessica,

If you feel uncomfortable where you are attending the church, that very well might be the Holy Spirit telling you to find another. It is God's way of connecting us with believers who can reach out and touch your life.

Have you called the churches and asked how active their singles' groups are and if they have a Sunday School Class and Bible study that you could attend? That is how I found my church. I took out the yellow pages and called until I found one that I was interested in. It worked!

Also, you might go to their websites and see for yourself how the church might appeal to you and also see what special activities they might have coming up. I know it is hard to go by yourself but you have to do your part before God can do His. Ask around. Visit different churches during the day, Wednesday Nights or Sunday Nights. Sometimes when you go when there are not so many you have a better chance of meeting other people.

Most importantly, keep praying to God and let Him know how you feel. He wants you in church more than you want to go. Join some different Christian activities around your area, volunteer at Christian Organizations. Every city has them. You can also ask around where you work - you might find a friend that way. Hang in there and I know God will come through - just keep praying and seeking.

God Bless,
Sandy
