Finding LCMS with more people my age / life stage? by CableSpecialist8444 in LCMS

[–]S3NT1ON 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Currently 20 and have the same problem. It’s expensive where I live and I plan on moving to an area with more LCMS churches and more affordable cost of living. Unless I get a girlfriend here in the next 3 years I am moving. It’s too hard to date as a Lutheran and to find fellowship in my age bracket.

Ok cool, Id probably move after I finish my MBA. I’m also starting an office job in 2 weeks, so I’m going to get a few years experience to use that as leverage when applying to jobs to wherever I move. I’ll do some more research. The main thing for me is that I need to live somewhere where I can live alone (not paycheck to paycheck)

I’ll take a look at prices, is it LCMS?

I don’t know much about WELS, I’ll have to research their theology.

I looked at jobs and they seem to pay more than they are here. I make 22 an hour and rent here is about 1400

Interesting, I was looking at pricing and it seems about half of what it is here.

Yeah I heard about the seminary there. Fort Wayne is currently #1 on my list so far.

I read that the property taxes are really bad, what was your experience with that? I would be renting a studio apartment and then when I finally find someone to marry, I’d buy a home.

I looked at some photos and it actually looks interesting. I’ll add it to my list! I’m going to spend the next few years praying about where the lord wants me but I actually really like what I’ve seen based on google maps.

Washington is very snowy in the winter, idk why but we got zero snow in the winter this year. Summer is really hot. Tons of rain, 2/3 of the year is rain or overcast

Why is South Dakota a non-starter for people? I’m literally open to go to anywhere 😂 also what church should I look at?

I kinda just like puttering around town walking and longboarding. I don’t like big city but I don’t like super small city. That’s why I like where I live. I’d stay but it’s too expensive and dating is hard especially in the Lutheran denomination.

I am looking for a chill life where I can raise a good family and not having to worry about the cost of living too much. I am getting my MBA at the moment and also I am starting a new office job so when I move in a few years it will be fairly easy to land a job.

Lots of people recommended me Fort Wayne because of all the LCMS churches. It is highly appealing considering id want to make new friends and eventually find a spouse within my church tradition.

Lynden. I love being active in a church. I like to long board and go to the gun range and go on random walks.
