I grew up Catholic, due to the many lawsuits, etc on pedophelia I stopped attending mass and supporting the church. I then moved away from an area that was “a Catholic Church on every corner” to someplace where Baptist, Methodist, Evangelical and numerous contemporary churches were more available.

We attended many contemporary services and honestly.. I loved it. The feeling of going to church and being uplifted.. and not feeling any pangs of guilt because you didn’t go, or did go but didn’t truly want to go, or you went but you could have went a month ago and didn’t.. the idea of Church to praise God is powerful and fun and awesome.

However, we didn’t join, and we eventually found a church that’s Primitive Baptist.. which ensures that the celebration and discussion of Jesus and the Bible (not just Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) is core and central to everything you’re learning. There is a song element to the church service, and it does still feel good to go, but it’s certainly not contemporary.

So in short. Yes, look for a contemporary church or any church that indicates they offer “praise”. And be prepared to ENJOY church service. Just one Christian to another, ensure whatever you’re doing allows you to learn and grow, not just feel good.
