View Full Version : Needing church recommendations, Louisville KY area
Hi all, we are fairly new to the Louisville KY area. I am wanting to find an Acts 2:38 church where standards aren't a huge emphasis. With Louisville being a city with many churches, I am hoping for suggestions/recommendations to make the church home search easier.
We checked out a PAW church, it was okay, but still searching. Also, I've already been to Believer's Church, not what I'm looking for.
Thanks so much!

How far are you willing to drive? Besides that any disqualifiers?
I've driven an hour to get to church before

It is a good church.
I grew up in the same church as the pastor of Believers Church...
One of his brothers was a very close friend.
But, the road they are on does not have a good ending.

Lots of them out there. Broad is the way. You should have no problem finding a church that fits you and your wants.

He didn’t HAVE to be...it just so happened that this time...
Yeah aegsm76, it wasn't my cup of tea. Something just didn't feel right for me personally, but to each their own.
Hometown guy, oh geez. Not sure what was meant by the sarcasm. My stipulation is a church has Acts 2:38 truth, no "Hillsongish" music lol, and where I don't feel the shackles of over the top legalism
...just wanted to add, I am not wanting a debate about standards, legalism, etc , plenty of threads on here to do that-- I'm just asking here to possibly give me some suggestions of where we could go check out. I went to a UPC church for 15+ years. The most recent church I attended before moving was a PAW church with an amazing pastor. They believed in holy lifestyle, some standards, but it was not beat over your head. The women generally wore skirts. Some people wore a small amount of jewelry. At any rate, I liked their approach to those things. They were a sincere bunch with a wonderful pastor. I am hoping to find a church with a similar approach. The last UPC church I went to in CA the pastor was very laid back and did not make an issue of standards. The people there were also very sincere, it wasn't anything goes.

Why ask for complete strangers to recommend something to a complete stranger? This isn’t like telling a soul to go to XYZ church in XYZ city, state. This is religious person looking for their particular religious get together. Hey, that’s what phone books are for. Why go through the tedious work of telling an expert on what church YOU think will suit that expert? Hey, use Google and search around until you find the seat that fits your seat. Or else start your own church and tell everyone the way it should be done.

No. Just a former UPC church that has torn down all of the "legalism" fences. And now on the way to throwing away the doctrine.
As always happens...
Very talented pastor and wife, but they wanted to "reach" more people.
So, the walls of separation were taken down.
It grieves me to think about it.
Lots of good memories around him and his family.

It would be interesting to know what various Churches believe before spending time that could be better spent elsewhere. I say she is doing well to ask what Churches are like. She probably thought someone here might be from Louisville. Simple.
Welcome to the Forum Lily.
There are LOTS of churches in Louisville, it can be very tedious trying to find a church when there are many to visit. I thought there might be someone out there who could direct us to a place like what I'm trying to describe. PAW is known to be less staunch, I dont think anyone could criticize my very anointed, godly PAW pastor from another town, or the people in that church. They are modest and believe in a Christian lifestyle and in my opinion that is sufficient. In my experience people are less prone to throw stones over stupid stuff that is none of their business anyway when the environment is less conducive to the nit picking.
I am please requesting no snide comments about standards or "what kind of a person actually wants a church like that", etc. There are many threads on AFF I am sure on standards debates, so you can have at it there, please refrain here. If you don't have a legit suggestion there is no need to comment here. Thanks so much.

Thank you
The laid back pastor is in SoCal, Orange County. Lots of people who attend look like your typical UPC standards, those who don't don't and you never heard a thing about it. The pastor didn't criticize and browbeat about it, so guess what, the church people didn't either. He is a wonderful pastor. He wasn't a control freak, let's just say that. His general personality temperament didn't lend to it.

I'm not their judge, that's God's job, but yeah, they've taken it too far for my taste. I have to agree with you on that. I would never say a judgement on them though, because I feel that's a dangerous, presumptious thing to do to God's children. I will just say it wasn't my cup of tea.

Maybe read your post in our shoes or sandals. Your asking for recommendations on churches in a certain city, that isn’t big on standards. And you give us an example of the previous church you attended. Like Bro. Benincasa said why ask this of complete strangers? Whatever happened to allow the spirit to led me? Have you prayed about which church to go to? You can even google “church's” in your area and go to each church until you find what you desire. Your going to get sarcasm when you post what your trying to find with certain “conditions” attached to it.

So I shouldn’t have created my thread asking about 2 churches in NW Arkansas?
There are people here from different parts of the country... or have visited all over. It is possible that someone may be familiar with a church in the area as she has described.
Just because what she described isn’t [y]our cup of tea doesn’t mean that she shouldn’t ask.., or that people should respond with snide remarks.

Good for you friend. You have made your clearly spiritual superiority known., when I simply asked for a church suggestion. People have way too much time on their hands. There are many threads on AFF to satiate your need for such comments, just please refrain here.
Some people have too much time on their hands, with no peace in their hearts so what better outlet than to get on various threads and make snide remarks. Peace to you brother. Move along. Not engaging in it.

Yes it is! You want to ask for recommendations on what church’s are the best to go to go ahead! I wouldn’t do it, but thats me. Yet, the difference is you asked and there was nothing attached to it. With this post there asking for a recommendation on a church that meets certain criteria’s.

I do believe I have asked more than once that people refrain from their dissensions on this thread. The only posts here should be church suggestions, as the title of the thread states. My thread isn't titled "Let's debate about church choices". It seems to be a sport for some on this forum to basically do what the Bible says not do, and that is to avoid foolish spiritual arguments and discussions. Like I said, I'm not engaging with it. There hasn't been one suggestion ironically. I'm just wanting church suggestions, nothing more nothing less. Please respect my wishes when I ask people not to use my thread. There are other threads to take it to if you have a need to pick a fight so to speak. I'm not interested in that. I stated plain and simple my intent of my thread. Thank you so much for respecting that.
If you aren't familiar with the Louisville area and have a suggestion akin to what I inquired about, please dont post here, thank you.

I’m sorry but just because you start a thread doesn’t mean you get to make the rules. Maybe a public forum is not the place for you. You should have started a thread that said “ if you are familiar with Louisville are I have a question for you so please PM me”.

Listen, people made suggestion, and then you came back with your opinions on what is legalistic? How your old pastor was so chill, and that standards should be few. So, if you thought that everyone would of ignored the bait, and continue to post their views on what church they thought was good? You kinda leveled that playing field and cut a few of us out. Because frankly I don’t know any PAW type churches well enough to make a suggestion to you. You may of cut down the post numbers by in the title of the thread telling us, that you are looking for a PAW style church, one that doesn’t make a deal about standards. Then sit back and read all the posts with churches for you to visit.

Ummm, no you're wrong. Read through all the comments on my thread. NOT ONE actual suggestion for a church. So no, people did not make any suggestions. Just people with too much time on their hands to waste their time posting on a thread that doesn't pertain to them because they see it as an opportunity for unnecessary jabs because it makes them feel better about themselves. This forum has hundreds of threads, and people who actually want to debate about this stuff. I have been straightforward in my inquiry. Really concerning that there are those who refuse to respect another person's wishes. Seriously, my personal spirituality and church has no personal connection to anyone's lives except my family, so the need to make unnecessary issue of it is unwarranted. Evang. Benincasa, please stop posting on this thread, I don't care for you dictating to me with a superiority complex. You have an attitude of arguing saying people have made suggestions when no one has even made one suggestion yet, just unsolicited posts like yours. You evidently enjoy this kind of thing though, so I can probably rest assured more comments even when I asked you not to. Any further commenting when I have clearly stated please do not is abusing other members. People don't need to be abusing other people on AFF, but respectful to one another. Go do something useful for God instead of succumbing to the temptation of arguing with a stranger on AFF about something that is of absolutely no consequence to you, when they are just sincerely trying to find a church. I mean, that's just kind of sad and shows someone who likes to be a bully.
If someone tells another person, hey, I need you to please stop doing that, and that person keeps doing it intentionally, that is a form of abuse and harassment. Stop.
As I read over the forum threads, I guess hmmm, just ask someone to point me in the direction of the more "liberal" leaning Acts 2:38 churches? No commentaries needed. Just stick to the facts of which churches, if you happen to know of any. Thanks so much!
and God forbid they play the horrific Hillsong style music. When and why did that ever become a thing?? Ugh! Can't stand it, doesn't inspire me at all, but rather annoys me. What's wrong with good old fashioned gospel music? Maybe I'll create a thread on that topic, lol.

Really? Yeesh. Can't stand that stuff. It's become a thing in UPC churches hasn't it? I've gone to a PAW church the last 5 years and thank God I didn't have to be subjected to that music travesty.
My next thread will be on what can be done to stop the madness of Hillsong music in churches. Just say no. Haha! I'd rather hear fingernails on a chalkboard.

1) It's a funny video. People these days want church like a buffet. They want to pick and choose some things.
2) It's not about "You doing or being YOU," it's about doing and being what GOD wants us to be. Get that millennial, secular "You do YOU" trash out of here.
3) This is a public forum. I don't know what you've been doing since you joined in 2016, but any cursory glance through the forum would show you that threads are open and therefore routinely hijacked. So while you engage and demand that people only give specific responses you want, it won't likely happen.
No one is bullying or harassing you. You're not a victim. You're free to stop engaging at any time and leave if you don't like the answers you're getting here.
I'm sure there are FB groups which would better fit your buffet list.

Yeah, but then why am I seeing all kinds of posts (a lot of the usual Debbie Downer gripers like on this thread) about "liberal" UPC churches. They are out there, I was hoping someone could help direct us to save us a lot of time and energy visiting umpteen churches.

Which video? Hard to make that judgment when all the videos I've seen on the first page at least only show the Pastor preaching. No songs or view of the congregation.

I find this really interesting some people are just so bored and angry to get on a thread and be rude because they are behind a keyboard about something that absolutely does not affect their life at all. That's a little troubling to me in a way. People who aren't at peace with themselves or others. It's the attitudes like that that make me run and not walk the other way from the "con" churches.
Thanks n david, we checked out one of those this past Sunday. We will check out the other. We are also going to check out a church of some real friendly ladies who were so hospitable to me at Ladies Retreat. I get the feeling it's too legalistic there, but we're going to pay them a visit out of courtesy, they were sweet people.
If you have ever been to a PAW church, that's about what I'm looking for. They are less beat you over the head about standards, and generally not the stupid nitpicky stuff that isn't even Biblical. Now if you're going to criticize them you've got problems. My PAW pastor showed me the most Christian love I've seen out of a pastor. Wonderful person.
Which video? Hard to make that judgment when all the videos I've seen on the first page at least only show the Pastor preaching. No songs or view of the congregation.
It showed the congregation

Ummm, no you're wrong. Read through all the comments on my thread. NOT ONE actual suggestion for a church. So no, people did not make any suggestions. Just people with too much time on their hands to waste their time posting on a thread that doesn't pertain to them because they see it as an opportunity for unnecessary jabs because it makes them feel better about themselves. This forum has hundreds of threads, and people who actually want to debate about this stuff. I have been straightforward in my inquiry. Really concerning that there are those who refuse to respect another person's wishes. Seriously, my personal spirituality and church has no personal connection to anyone's lives except my family, so the need to make unnecessary issue of it is unwarranted. Evang. Benincasa, please stop posting on this thread, I don't care for you dictating to me with a superiority complex. You have an attitude of arguing saying people have made suggestions when no one has even made one suggestion yet, just unsolicited posts like yours. You evidently enjoy this kind of thing though, so I can probably rest assured more comments even when I asked you not to. Any further commenting when I have clearly stated please do not is abusing other members. People don't need to be abusing other people on AFF, but respectful to one another. Go do something useful for God instead of succumbing to the temptation of arguing with a stranger on AFF about something that is of absolutely no consequence to you, when they are just sincerely trying to find a church. I mean, that's just kind of sad and shows someone who likes to be a bully.
If someone tells another person, hey, I need you to please stop doing that, and that person keeps doing it intentionally, that is a form of abuse and harassment. Stop.
Lol Abuse and harassment?! People that used these words so loosely cheapen theses words and then when someone really needs to use the word we shrug it off because of people like this ....

For example, let me try continually coming to your door with my church viewpoints after you've told me to get lost. I'm pretty sure the police would eventually get involved because that would be harassment. I get it though, this apparently is a norm on this forum

I believe your giving harassment a bad name! To those that have been truly harassed your doing them a disservice. You need not to come on a forum where I will say, no one is making you stay against your will, no one is forcing you to engage in conversations. Your doing this all of your own free will. Just like its your free will to go to whichever church you desire. Your more than welcome to stay, just dont throw around “harassment” to gain pity from others.

I created this thread. I made a simple inquiry, and also a simple request of no theatrics on this thread. That just seemed to fan the flames and God forbid one states personal boundaries, because that just further incites abusive personalities. Basic human decorum is foreign to some obviously. Look up the Webster definition of harassment. Bullying is not far behind that.
Thank you to those who gave suggestions-- I think I've gotten 3 legitimate suggestions.
...and Evang Benincasa, I see a profile pic of you and your family. Don't you have a job?, or is the wife the one footing the bill while you have idle time to post so much on AFF.
You must have a lot of idle time on your hands to post so much stuff on AFF, and especially threads that should be of no personal interest to you...

Lily evidently believes women sit around all day while their husbands are out all day breaking big rocks into little rocks. From what we see from this rash of postings from this disgruntled poster is they are just a troll hater. Anyone who doesn’t believe as the poster believes is legalistic and therefore discounted. Understands that it was using trigger words and would get a response, but now is complaining about those responses. Claims that they take the high road and wouldn’t attack others but that is what they are doing here? Sorry, typical troll. Probably another poster using one of their old alias.

Giving me what I dish out? But you were complaining about me in previous posts? Commenting on "what I dish out" was incorrect, and now you are doing it? So, let's find you a hypocrite church, were you can get together with the rest of the hypocrites. Is that what you are? Or maybe this has all gone over your head, because you were just exposed as a troll, who set up the whole "Going to Kentucky, so Please Find Me a PAWish Church to Go To" thread. As a way to give your views on whats right and whats wrong. Another thing, stop posting in your thread? You already posted that this thread has done its job and you have some church names to add to your list. Do you have anything else to add to this thread? Information or requests which you feel would be hindered by any form of criticisms?

Indeed it is! Give it a shot, and I'm sure you'll hear the Gospel presented, and the Word of God honored by a pastor and congregation who have a correct understanding of who God is.
It may not be the "hoopin' and hollerin'" type of service that you're used to (in fact, I'm almost certain it won't be), but you'll find the Lord honored in sacred and solemn worship that doesn't draw attention to self, but rather directs it to One Who is worthy.

There are LOTS of churches in Louisville, it can be very tedious trying to find a church when there are many to visit. I thought there might be someone out there who could direct us to a place like what I'm trying to describe. PAW is known to be less staunch, I dont think anyone could criticize my very anointed, godly PAW pastor from another town, or the people in that church. They are modest and believe in a Christian lifestyle and in my opinion that is sufficient. In my experience people are less prone to throw stones over stupid stuff that is none of their business anyway when the environment is less conducive to the nit picking.
I am please requesting no snide comments about standards or "what kind of a person actually wants a church like that", etc. There are many threads on AFF I am sure on standards debates, so you can have at it there, please refrain here. If you don't have a legit suggestion there is no need to comment here. Thanks so much.
The laid back pastor is in SoCal, Orange County. Lots of people who attend look like your typical UPC standards, those who don't don't and you never heard a thing about it. The pastor didn't criticize and browbeat about it, so guess what, the church people didn't either. He is a wonderful pastor. He wasn't a control freak, let's just say that. His general personality temperament didn't lend to it.
Some people have too much time on their hands, with no peace in their hearts so what better outlet than to get on various threads and make snide remarks. Peace to you brother. Move along. Not engaging in it.
I do believe I have asked more than once that people refrain from their dissensions on this thread. The only posts here should be church suggestions, as the title of the thread states. My thread isn't titled "Let's debate about church choices". It seems to be a sport for some on this forum to basically do what the Bible says not do, and that is to avoid foolish spiritual arguments and discussions. Like I said, I'm not engaging with it. There hasn't been one suggestion ironically. I'm just wanting church suggestions, nothing more nothing less. Please respect my wishes when I ask people not to use my thread. There are other threads to take it to if you have a need to pick a fight so to speak. I'm not interested in that. I stated plain and simple my intent of my thread. Thank you so much for respecting that.
If you aren't familiar with the Louisville area and have a suggestion akin to what I inquired about, please dont post here, thank you.
