How to Pick a Church
It’s easy to tell people, “go to church” but many don’t really have an understanding of
what they should look for in a church. Here are a few tips on how to find the right church
for you:
- Pray about it. Ask the Lord to lead you to the right place. Go to a place where you believe you are called!
- Check to see what churches are in your community. Check out their websites,
livestreams.
- Research what they believe to ensure they teach you according to the Bible.
- Make a list of what’s important to you. (Ex: Children’s ministry, Young Adult
ministry, small groups, etc.)
- Then test it out!
Questions
-What are you looking for in a church? If you’re not looking, what are some things
that keep you at your church? Ex: you love the ministry for your children or you
have a great mentor!
-Do you have a church home? If so, what are some ways you build up others in
your church? Or what are some ways you would like to build up others?
-What are some ways that churches can support early mothers?
-Challenge: I want you to find another Christian mother for you to connect with.
Whether they are someone older or younger than you, establish a relationship
with them. It could be for you to mentor/encourage them, or it could be for them
to mentor/encourage you. Or find a mother that you can pray with once a week or study the Bible with.
