My CRAZY Denominational Journey: Lutheran➡️ Non-Denom ➡️ UCC ➡️PC(USA)➡️EPC ➡️PCA

from Matthew Everhard · host Dr. Matthew V Everhard

What denomination are you—and how did you get there?In this video I tell the story of my long and winding denominational journey through several different churches before finally landing in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).My path wasn’t simple. Over the years I experienced life inside several very different Christian traditions including:-the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America-the Assemblies of God-a large non-denominational megachurch-the United Church of Christ-the Presbyterian Church (USA)-the Evangelical Presbyterian ChurchEach of these churches shaped my faith in different ways—some good, some difficult, but all part of God’s providence.Along the way I experienced:• a dramatic conversion in a Pentecostal youth group• exposure to expository preaching• theological battles in mainline Protestantism• discovering Reformed theology through teachers like R. C. Sproul• and eventually finding a theological home in the PCA.In this video I explain:✔ Why I left Lutheranism✔ How I got saved in a Pentecostal church✔ What I learned in non-denominational evangelicalism✔ My experience inside liberal mainline denominations✔ How I eventually became Reformed and PresbyterianMost importantly, I want to hear your story.👇 Comment below:What denomination are you in today?Did you start there—or did God take you on a journey like mine?📘 My book:Bold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of CowardsAvailable in paperback and audiobook.Subscribe for more videos on:• Reformed theology• Christian courage• Church history• Biblical theology• pastoral insightsSEO TagsChristian denominationsdenominational journeywhy I became PresbyterianPCA church explainedReformed theology testimonywhy leave mainline churchesLutheran vs PresbyterianAssemblies of God testimonyPresbyterian Church in AmericaChristian conversion storyevangelical churches explainedchurch denomination differencesR.C.
