Church Fellowship

I am looking for a ministry that follows the bible teaching strictly and expects the same of if its followers, a church that is not wishywashy on details just so more will attend. I want a pastor that preaches for longer than ten to fifteen minutes, I want a fellowship with the heart of god, nonjudemental but does not waver on what is right a strong open armed people who are close and truely want to follow gods word. I would like there to be large varitey of ages and early married couples in there twenty’s if possible with lots of potlucks and meeting at peoples homes for study and friendship

I live in Seattle (Eastside) and highly recommend Mars Hill Church. They’re Biblically based, speak the truth where we know it, and have a variety of activities as you describe such as home study groups.

Also, check the KGNW website for church recommendations.

I been going to this church for about 6 months now. My uncle introduced me to that church after I came back to the state from long term Mission trip. At first, they told me to lead high school ministry. I was excited and set up plans to attend seminary since they were going to support me financially. However things did not go well. After they bought a new church building, they did not have enough money to support me to do ministry so I set aside and looking for job now. I want to help out with high school, however, the young adult service is not too good. People are not too spiritual, they drink, not really into like prayer meetings. They seem to value fellowship more than spiritual things like Missions, bible study, and prayer. The young adult service is not helping me spirtually at all and it is making me judge the leaders although I want to help out with the high school. What is the best thing for me to do? Move to different church with better/ spiritual peope or stay??

What makes you think you are right? You have a fervent faith but have not done the training.

You show the classic signs of a Christian who is going off the rails and thinking they know far better than church elders, the Pope and anyone else.

Carry on with the way you are thinking and if Jesus returns in a few years you will be telling him he got it all wrong!!!!!

church in my previous city for over the last 3 years. I heard about one in my new city that is simliar to my old, mentioned going, and my new sponsor told me that she doesn’t "allow" her sponsees to go there… I live in a small town and there aren’t a lot of people who "have what I want" so I don’t want to drop her, but I think that is obsurd. She said it is because people mix sprituality with religion, but I am honest with myself enough to know that I have already been going to a simliar deal for 3+ years, I DON’T do that, and it has enhanced my sprituality, and I really think it’s important for me to continue on. I’m really bad about having a huge ego and not listening to suggestions, and it has lead me to a miserable 6 months of self-will run riot, so I’m trying to get out of that. I’ve thought about listening to my old churches pod casts instead, but I wouldn’t have that common fellowship from attending. I’ve also thought of going to the other more distant services where nobody would recognize me. Other than this, she is a really great, wise, smart, teacher, and I’m ready to learn from her, but I think it’s obsurd to tell someone that they can be Christian, but forbid them to go to a certain church. She is a chaplin and she said she picked being a chaplin instead of going into ministry because she is interested in "your relationship with God, not the specifics of a particular religion", but I feel that this totally contradicts that.

sponsors can "suggest" not demand. remember, recovery is not one size fits all—my program works well for me, but it might make you utterly miserable.
i was told early on that the answer to the question "how do i stay clean/sober?" is HONESTY, OPEN MINDEDNESS, AND WILLINGNESS! (is your sponsor showing an open mind?)

if your sponsor is not open minded, it may be time for you to stand up to her.

another thing i learned early on, the 12 steps can save your ass, church may save your soul,…i go to church to enhance my spiritual understanding/relationship, and just like meetings-i take some ideas home and leave some there because i do not believe in cookie cutter religion,…

p.s. i only have one MUST for my sponsees, (don’t drink or use, no matter what!)

The Church is meant to be a refuge for emotionally drained and hurting people. How come some leaders in the ministry do more harm to people than do them good by bombarding them with ministry rules and regulations that don’t help at all but rather move people’s hearts away from the LOVE that is supposed to be overflowing in a church fellowship?

never heard of that!!!
maybe they arent true christians.

I have been accussed of having a demon, what do I do?
This is a serious question: I attend a pentacostal church, there is a pastor there who I believe habors a slight attraction towards me. We had a guest preacher the other day who talked about "move mountain move" and a man standing next to the pastor pointed to me and then pointed to the door and everyone saw this. Now no one speaks to me, I am not invited to fellowship anymore. Why are they doing this. I dress very modestly as oppossed to many other women in the church there who are dressed very seductive like but I don’t. I am involved in ministry. I have had several men of the church and just random people from there driving by my house at night and in the morning. I really used to love this place but now I am miserable, everything is wrong at my job now my church and it is the only thing I look forward to each week and if I have to leave I think I will be crushed…. HELP!

Well, they were wonderfully helpful and supportive. You might need to find another church, but you’ll probably be better off without those kinds of people.

Just wondering how to go about dealing with a very controlling person in our church. Several people have noticed this – not just us. My husband was the volunteer youth pastor at our church since 2004 – his heart is for youth ministry. A couple (much older than my husband and I – we’re in our 20’s, they’re in their 40’s) came in to "help out" and over the past 2 years have completely taken over, changed curriculum, won’t let us do any lessons, we can’t even talk about anything to the kids at youth group. We lost 2/3 of our youth group kids. We have had several complaints from parents of teens in our youth group that their kids don’t want to go to youth group now. This couple determines when we have or don’t have youth group (this is one of those nights they decided there would be no youth group) this afternoon, one of the teens called me up and asked if we could have a game night and fellowship tonight since this other couple decided that we weren’t having youth group (she is VERY controling), and I called her up to just let her know what we were doing and she flat out said "no", because neither she nor her husband would be there and would not let us have it no questions asked. This gal is like this in a lot of areas in the church. My husband and I are at our last straw with this. There is no discussion or decisions with this gal in anything in church (she’s involved in a lot of things) – it’s her way or no way at all. I’m sick of it – the youth kids aren’t getting anything out of it, and my husband and I are at our last straw. We’re seriously thinking about changing churches because we just can’t take this crap anymore. How can we deal with this? What should we do? I appreciate any advice. Thanks and God bless.
They pretty much just came in and said "hey, we want to help" 2 years ago and began taking over from there. They weren’t really asked by the church or anyone – that’s just what happened…

The kids tell my husband and I that they’re not getting anything out of it and that’s not the way that it should be. Youth ministry is not for the glory of the youth group leaders/pastor, it’s not something to step on to get another "look at me, look at what I do" thing – it’s for the kids. It’s how to show them that , "hey, God’s word really does apply to me and the things that I encounter every day such as authority, peer pressure, sex, homosexuality, drinking, drugs, stress, a world that is against God, and the like." Teaching them that there is an answer from the Lord for every situation that they come up against every day.

I would ask for a meeting with the Minister of the church to discuss the problem. I am sure that he has already noticed the youth membership dropping off and would be eager to rectify the situation. Then you might also suggest another meeting with the other couple to let them know that there are problems arising from their decisions.

I really hope you don’t feel the need to leave the church over this. It seems like the kids really look up to you and could use your support now.
