How to Pick a ChurchIt’s easy to tell people, “go to church” but many don’t really have an understanding ofwhat they should look for in a church. Here are a few tips on how to find the right churchfor you:- Pray about it. Ask the Lord to lead you to the right place. Go to a place where you believe you are called! - Check to see what churches are in your community. Check out their websites,livestreams.- Research what they believe to ensure they teach you according to the Bible.- Make a list of what’s important to you. (Ex: Children’s ministry, Young Adultministry, small groups, etc.)- Then test it out!Questions-What are you looking for in a church? If you’re not looking, what are some thingsthat keep you at your church? Ex: you love the ministry for your children or youhave a great mentor!-Do you have a church home? If so, what are some ways you build up others inyour church? Or what are some ways you would like to build up others?-What are some ways that churches can support early mothers?-Challenge: I want you to find another Christian mother for you to connect with.Whether they are someone older or younger than you, establish a relationshipwith them. It could be for you to mentor/encourage them, or it could be for themto mentor/encourage you. Or find a mother that you can pray with once a week or study the Bible with.
