>>13353471Plenty of churches to join, but keep these points in mind.
1. Modern musical arrangements
> don't bother with these types of churches. The respond to the criticism that sometimes church is boring by literally becoming a concert.2. Very long sermons
> it's good to read from the bible and give some insight, but 45+ minute sermons are completely unnecessary. After 15 minutes, the pastor/priest runs into the danger of political commentary, useless personal stories, and filler. 3. In-service theatrics
> this is most common among pentecostals, but if the church has people making loud noises, jumping around, and passing out...it's best to avoid it.4. Denomination
> for we as humans will never know who will be saved, I will not make the claim that some denominations are damned. There will be conservative (in style) and modernist (read:liberal in style) in every denomination. 5. Congregation vs Ritualism
> some branches of Christianity use a ritualistic service called a liturgy. This is a written instructional of the service is supposed to run every week written by a historical founder or elder of the church. This includes the Orthodox Churches, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, and more. Others are based on congregation, and is more commonly found in America; they consist of a pastor, a sermon, and a hymnal period in a any configuration set by the church itself.You know you found the right church when it doesn't feel like a burden of a chore to wake up semi-early on Sunday mornings anymore.
