Most Christians will change churches at some point in their life and research shows it's happening more often than it used to. In a recent Lifeway Research survey, 60 percent indicated a physical move as the main reason for their change. The other 40 percent gave a variety of different answers.
The Lifeway study shows most churchgoers in the United States don't often switch churches but sometimes it's necessary, whether it's moving to a new neighborhood or city or some other reason.
"After churches opened back up, we of course went back to church and I just began to feel like really, I needed something more," Heather Edwards said in an interview with CBN News.

I have been searching for a church for 15 months now, and it has been far harder than I ever imagined. So many churches try to put on a good show, or the pastor gets up there and everybody says how he "preaches the bible!" And you sit there for 45 minutes listening to words but nothing is being said. I am reading my bible every day, and I am by no means perfect nor am I demanding perfection, I just want something real. Not smells and bells, not a lazer light show, just a church where we worship the Lord in Spirit and Truth, and actually care about people beyond their attendance or tithing potential.

There is also a lot about fear of God in the bible, even if you choose to ignore it its still there many many times even in the 'New Testament'... you don't have to be terrified or something but for Church teaching to seem to just ignore it I mean 'a certain respect for his holiness, his name, his power, I mean even his best mate John that was the disciple that he loved in Rev. 1.17 said ''When I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead man' ?

I love my small country church. Straight from the Bible preaching/teaching. Life groups, dinner groups, senior moments, kids club, church without walls, missions and the list goes on. With 2 services and 4 Bible study groups on Sunday morning with maybe 300 members in total. Wednesday men’s and women’s Bible studies. Men’s breakfast once a month. Food pantry once a month. I could go on but I’m old and can’t remember everything.😅 If you don’t have anything to do at our church…you’re dead.😂

Are Protestants are more interested in fellowship with other parishoners than a direct relationship with Lord Jesus Christ? The focus should be on worshipping Lord Jesus Christ, not just meeting and talking to other people. Worship isn't just singing praises to God, although that is part of it. Worship isn't just hearing Scripture, Bible study - the Liturgy of the Word - although that is part of it. Jesus said that if one doesn't eat His Flesh and drink His Blood, one doesn't have Life in them. Holy Eucharist is the True Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Lord Jesus Christ. Worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. Stop focusing primarily on human fellowship.

Church is supposed to be about community (emphasis on unity in community) based on authentic Christ-like love, sanctified in Truth, that worships God together throughout the week. But it has sadly (strategically if you study) become a place where the Spirit in believers are recognizing humanism and selfish ambitions as but some of the idol gods at work in far too many churches. There's also hypocrisy, mammon, indifference, Jezebel, deception, the spirit of religion, etc. True disciples hunger for Spirit-filled, -centered and -driven Koinonia. And authentic shepherding. The way it was in Acts.

But some things changed. Where we kept on going to church. Reluctantly.... And now we are moving across country to go to a church that we feel led too. Ha. Yes... across country. We are praying about that now. And all roads seem to be pointing that God has directed this. Pastors and Christians need to wake up. We know that the church is in decline in America. Wake up and understand what is going on. It may be that this is apart of the great falling away. Because I no longer feel like I am apart of the church family.

What you call nationalistic is the fact that nations love so much Christ that it's part of their national identity whereas in the West it's so foreign that most nations in the West got rid of Christianity without a second though. Remember the parable of the sewer? Nations are the soil. In the orthodox countries, the tree has long roots going deep in the soil, so even when the wind of lsIam and Communism blew the tree remained firmly rooted in the ground. In the West, Rome uprooted the tree from the soil in order to impose a strange rite in Latin instead of the local tradition (Gallican, Celtic, Hiberic, Byzantine in the south of Italy...) and uprooted it again with the Novus Ordo in recent years. Now the tree is dry and dying in every western nation while it resists the win of post modernism in orthodox countries. None of the orthodox countries have legalized same sin marriage.

The controversial priest heard about the conversation and told me I had no business looking like our Saviour. I was stunned just because of a compliment? I had to endure him for 12 years as my father was very strict. As I got older, I found strength to move to another Catholic church and I was welcomed with open arms. With that, I got into the ministry of being a Eucharistic Minister. Been doing it for 25 years now and couldn't be more happy.

I came to faith and attended Non-denominational/Baptist/Pentecostal churches. Something always felt missing. I am currently attending a Biblical Anglican church (ACNA). Many of those attending my church come from the same background as me. It's the best church community I have attended! The liturgy is Christ-centered and we take the Eucharist every Sunday. I don't think I'd ever return to a more causal church or a church that didn't do weekly communion again. It's Protestant, but we value traditions that are in agreement with Scripture. I also have grown in my understanding of church history and feel more connected with the church around the world. My church is part of GAFCON and aligns with Anglicans in the Global South. We remember the persecuted church and missionaries in our prayers at church. None of this is to speak ill of Christians in Baptist and Pentecostal churches. I have known and love my brothers and sisters in other denominations. I just found myself planted in my current church. I appreciate what other denominations have contributed to my faith in Christ as well. 💛 For the record, I am 29 and formerly an agnostic. Young people are hungry for the Biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ. Gimmicks and worldly entertainment will not bring the younger generations back to the church. Genuine love for Christ and people, living that out in simple community, will do so much. Prayer, seeking the leading of the Holy Spirit, and staying rooted in the Bible.
