Welcome to Christian Forums! My name is Tatiana and I'm a senior moderator for the Friendship Team, which helps to watch over this forum (New Member Intros forum). Please let me know if I can assist you while you enjoy some time around CF... there's ALOT to know so it can be a little tricky.
I'm also the coordinator for the team in the CF Welcoming Committee. So I'm very dedicated to our new members and getting them caught up around the site. Here are few suggestions on getting around the areas that I have help moderate.
First off... every member should read the
CF rules so that you know what is alloweable here (we try to keep this site clean for our younger members and Christian-oriented, while we do welcome those of other beliefs). Also, if you're wondering about all our different faith icons, you can learn about them here:
List of Faith Icons.
Now to learn more about the site, you can check out the following areas:

If there is something you have a question about and you haven't been able to find it yet, please feel free to private message me (aka pm... you'll need 5 posts before you can send out pm's though).
