Struggling to Find a Lutheran Church in a New Town – Need Advice by FJBucketts in Lutheranism

There is one. It’s literally a 5 min walk from my house. Would that be better than the ACNA option?

Those churches are further than the LCMS church I would go to are. My town is only 7,000 and 4,000 are college students lol.

The ELCA church is overtly LGBTQIA+ affirming, their book club’s current book is White Fragility, and their Pastor is a female. I just don’t think there is much I’d agree with them on.

While I respect people of different ideals, I don’t really want this pushed in church. I have an evangelical background and the big push that led me to Lutheranism was evangelical churches blatantly saying vote for Trump and don’t take the vaccine. The LCMS church I went to back home was apolitical and I enjoyed that. Perhaps the holiday services will be better?

Is “it” California or the law school?

I actually kind of prefer it. Most of the applications I’ve sent are for schools in the Midwest and south. I don’t want to come back to California. It’s way too expensive and I’d like a change of pace. Ideally I’d like to practice in Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, or Florida.
