  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I grew up Catholic however I never felt close to Christ nor was i taught I could be. Surrounded by hipocrites, once i could decide for myself, i avoided church. i believed in god however i didn't feel connected to him or anyone in the churches i attended. As a young adult, i tried a few different churches n still felt like an outsider. At 33, I had my first kid, at age 5 she heard about god in preschool and asked a lot of questions. I didn't feel I could answer her questions so i sought a church that accepted and mentored lost folks and was great w kids. We found one but after a few yrs, moved back to a place we lived before. We found a church like we had in the place we came back from n we felt right here. Lately, we feel disconnected in our church. There are things going on that has me on guard again. i am trying not to speculate on what is going on, i just get this feeling something is off. I came here to talk w others that struggle n overcome w the help of other christians.

Welcome! Many people seem to find their way back to church once they have kids, I know a few myself. I am glad you are here, I am a parent of a 5yr old boy. Finding a church that was good with kids and that we all enjoyed was important to us as well when we were searching over the last few years. We were blessed to find a great church that preaches the gospel and is fantastic with kids. :)

Hi and welcome. The Bible being the standard I pray that as you look the word of God guides you through His Spirit. And that you grow so that the Church which is your own house be fruitful and unto His praise.
