I was saved at a Vineyard Christian Fellowship branch in the Columbus, Ohio area. It has been my favorite church ever since. So when I moved to Gainesville, I thought the church I join is a no-brainer: its Vineyard branch.
Well, that idea lasted until my sister and BIL decided to do what VCF calls a baby dedication. It is bringing children up in front of the stage, where the pastor says something I could not hear. The concept is parents publicly promise they will lead their children to Jesus. When I was there it was the opposite of what I am used to: a multipurpose room with children's art on the walls, folding chairs, and nothing covering the concrete. Despite its small size, it has unnecessary big bass speakers that make the music too loud during worship . . but they aren't used by pastors. I could not hear most of what the pastor said in the second row. Needless to say, I never went back.
Not surprisingly, none of the churches near me are non-donominational. I do not belong to any specific denomination within Protestant Christianity. The chosest churches to me are Lutheran, Baptist, and Presbyterian. So what I need is an Internet version of a Protestant church closest to VCF in its belief system. Is this possible? What do you recommend?
