Hey guys...my wife and I are attempting to make local friends that we can have good fellowship with. We've been to TONS of churches all over the surrounding areas and no luck finding anyone we really click with.

So, just wondering if any of you go to a church you consider good for people who are in their middle and early 20's? :)

I am lucky that God appointed me to the PERFECT church in my surrounding area :)

I feel sorry for you that there are none in your surrounding area .. I live in toronto Ontario...

About 6 years ago, we were between churches and at a loss as to where to go. We had our list of what we wanted in a church regarding doctrine, style of worship, etc.

One Saturday, I prayed over the phone book, hoping that God would lead us to the right church. I felt led to check out the local Presbyterian church. I thought Presbyterian? But I am a Pentecostal, who likes contemporary style worship. I sez, OK God.

So we went to First Prez and guess what. It wasn't even close to what "we wanted" in a church, but it felt so right. It was the best church experience we had in that town. The only reason we no longer attend First Prez is that we moved to our present location.

The lesson is this: Toss your list of requirements for a church and instead open your heart and mind. Ask God where He wants you to be and go there in faith. A guaranteed formula for success!

See now, that's a good idea..but maybe I should have explained something better....we've found LOTS of great churches with great worship and people....but we haven't found a PERSON we really click with enough to be more than "hi, how are you?" people...you know? No one we can really have any fellowship with..there just isn't any kind of connection at all...

Finding a church with good worship, a good teacher and good, friendly people isn't the problem at all. :) Plenty of those out there...

Well when I was 20 I left my liberal church and started going there (agreeing with what they taught). Their not all the same exact flavor but it's definitely a church for all ages. Looks like a lot of them in your state too. Worth checking out ;)
