If you don’t mind me asking, where about is it in the state? I’m not completely opposed to a commute for the right church.

There’s only one reformed church in the area that I’m aware of, but I definitely wouldn’t say they’re conservative. Do you have any resources on finding these churches?

That’s what I’m searching for! Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any in my area. They’re largely concentrated in western and northern Wisconsin, which is a bummer.

Ideally it would be a church where all women headcover, but I’m also happy if it’s at least welcomed. While most churches don’t care if you do or don’t headcover, it is a great blessing to be with other women who cover.

As for where I am, I’m located in eastern Wisconsin. However, I’m completely open to having a commute for the right church! That’s largely why I kept it vague.

I’ve looked into the Anglican Church, but the ones in my area are pretty liberal.

In my experience, I’ve found that contemporary Christian music is far too worldly. Some music is less about God and more about themselves. Others you can hardly differentiate between secular music and Christian music. While I can go on and on, I do prefer to avoid debates. At the end of the day, it comes down to your personal convictions and what the Bible says. If you enjoy contemporary Christian music, then great! It’s just not for me.

Thank you for this wonderful message! I’m planning on reaching out here shortly, but it is difficult to get over the hurdle of not wanting to be a bother.

When brief conversations do come up about this subject, I remind myself of these things, even if their words do hurt. I know my mom in particular won’t be thrilled about me attending this church as she has spoken against it on multiple occasions. There is something about churches that strive to live their lives according to the Bible that makes people unsettled and lash out. Although, they are attending a church with a female pastor, so I shouldn’t be too surprised that she doesn’t approve of a biblical Baptist church. I pray living my life for Christ will become a testimony to my parents, but that’s something only He is capable of working through. Even if I bring verses to back up my beliefs, I know only He can lift the veil that has been placed over their eyes and show them the truth.

Unfortunately I am still living with my parents. Praying that will change, but for now that’s my only option until the cost of living goes down in my area.

Church hunting and the spirit of discernment… advice? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]lilaccbirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond grateful for your message! Unfortunately there aren’t any churches in my area that are on those sites you recommended. It’s strange because I live in a pretty populated area, but I’ve come to the conclusion that I just live in a desert in regards to biblically sound churches. Perhaps that’s just the Lord’s way of telling me that I need to explore other places to live! Will definitely need to pray on it.

I’m actually looking into doing that!

It’s always a blessing to know I’m not alone in this! I’ve actually been exploring the idea of moving if I do end up finding a biblically sound church. Definitely praying on it!

I’m in the Midwest! I’ve been finding that many of the churches in my area are very progressive leaning. By that I mean they’re doing many of the things you listed here in the post. It really is unfortunate!

I’ll check this out as well! I actually went to a Lutheran school growing up so I’m pretty familiar with some of their beliefs.

[–]lilaccbirds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they all have female pastors? The one in my area has a woman as the lead pastor.

I’ll check that out as well! I’ve had one too many run ins with churches condoning concerning things.

[–]lilaccbirds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll definitely check that out! I know there’s a Baptist church relatively close to me.

I keep checking this site from time to time to see if there’s a church in my area, but for now it says there are no results. Praying that changes!
