New here

[Suzanne 68]

Hi,
So where do I start? I went to a Baptist church with my friend's family when I was growing up. Since then I attended a Methodist church until they closed due to declining membership. I started going to a non-denominational church but recently left there. As my friend would say, I've felt unsettled at the nondenominational church..little outreach, and it felt like I was always on the outside looking in.
I started attending a Nazarene church and thought I found my new church home.
But I've been unsettled..the teachings are biblically sound but there are some things that seem so different to me. The pastor's message today was about the Rapture. The Methodist church and nondenominational church didn't discuss that topic much if at all. Also, the fact the Nazarene church has different views on salvation.
So here I am.. torn. I started getting my toes wet in the women's ministry but I don't know if this is a good fit. And now I don't know what to do other than pray. Please pray for clarity.

Just stay and after being taught you will be sure of what you really want. They are a good church. I have a friend who goes to the Nazarene here. Welcome to CF.

Welcome. If you are looking for the perfect church, you are wasting your time. If you are accepted, loved and can fellowship where you are, stick with it. If they preach something you don't agree with, either ignore it or ask the Pastor to clarify it. We need to stand on truth but be teachable as well. No one has all the truth. We should be learning all through our lives.
