  • 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.

Hello everyone,

I'm a 37 years old male, originally from Europe, and moved to the United States last year. Currently living near Seattle and will be moving to Phoenix soon, once the Covid-19 crisis is over.

I had an exciting life, lived in different countries, and was able to see many parts of the world. Unfortunately, I was involved in New Age spirituality in my late 20's and early 30's. This led to negative experiences and unfulfillment. But God had mercy and reach out to me three years ago. I've been a believer since then.

Being a new immigrant in the US, it has been a challenge to find a good church, where I would fit in. Most people are locals with roots there and I really stand out. So far, I liked the Saddleback Church most, but it's in southern California, and living there is not an option for now. But they have great groups and programs for everyone!

Anyway, just wanted to say "Hi" and connect with fellow believers.

Also, anyone from Phoenix, feel free to reach out and recommend a church!

Welcome to Christian forums!

I've only been saved a few years, and while I was born here, I do find it a little more difficult to "fit in" to a church, but with a little effort and a lot of exploration you'll find your spot. Never lose hope on that front.

What is your beliefs? If your kind of just protestant I find Baptist church's very easy to feel welcome and fit in with... easier to jump on board and be a participant in one, than anywhere else as far as atmosphere goes.

So it really just depends on whether your fairly settled in your beliefs, and if you know and understand your own beliefs on various doctrinal disputes... you really need to navigate according to your understanding.
