What "type" of church do you attend?
 
I'm new here, and am trying to get a feel for the members on this forum. What "type" of church do you attend? However you want to answer is fine with me (UPCI, Oneness Pentecostal, WPF (help us all), COGIC, etc.).

I just want to say that I'm not looking for sarcasm or rudeness. I've only been on here a short time, and have quickly realized that a lot of you are just looking for an argument. If that's you, feel free to not respond.

Oneness Pentecostal, but I was hoping we'd go Charismatic

Arguments aren't all that scary. Most of us are just like you, trying to make sense of things.

I'm Independent.

I run with a evangelical-charismatic-universalist bunch....which is the true church of course. The other churches are just fakes.

And I'm not looking for an argument. I've found all I want here on the forum!

That's a pretty bold statement that other churches are just fakes. Have you been to every other church and spoken with every other pastor? Seems like you're judging churches based on their members. If you stick to that method of "judgement," I think you're missing out on quite a bit.

Sometimes tongue-in-cheek doesn't convey well in these forums.

don't want an argument? why does 'help us all' appear after WPF?

Evangelical Oneness ?

Re: What "type" of church do you attend?
 
I go to Grace Church of Humble, pastored by Brett and Scott Jones.

It was UPCI until 1998 or so. I was brought up UPCI. Dad pastored in NYC. I held license as well.

crakjak 09-14-2010 06:46 PM

Re: What "type" of church do you attend?
 
The church I attend was C of C for 25 years, then over the next 25 years, moved increasing toward evangelical, charismatic music and worship, with more of a expository preaching. Pastor audits classes at Regent University each July, has pastored at LHC for almost 20 years. LHC doesn't divide over doctrine, sees members as flawed individuals, in community following Christ to the best of our ability.

I was raised UPC, father pastored for over 30 years, much family in UPC. I am very Christ centric, as the savior of the whole world. 1 Tim. 4:10.

Re: What "type" of church do you attend?
 
I currently attend an Independent Fundamental Baptist church... :D

Only due to living arrangements.

I was attending a *very* charismatic church before this one (night and day difference!)

And before that I was attending a Foursquare church.

I've moved in between every one of these churches...don't go thinking I church hop just for fun.

OP church in the morning, nondenominational/leaning Charismatic church in the evenings.

An OP church when they drag me there. A "looser" group otherwise.

kristian's_mom 09-14-2010 07:24 PM

Re: What "type" of church do you attend?
 
When I do attend church, which as of late has been not that much, I go to a church that was UPC but in the last year broke away and is not part of any organization. They believe everything the UPC does except for the dress code. Some members still wear skirts and don't cut their hair and some don't. No one really seems to care.

However, women still wear skirts on the platform. I think this still happens because if there were too dramatic of a change it would scare off a lot of people (especially the older generation).

UPCI, because God wants me there. :-/

I am an ordained minister with that local church.

I am also an ordained minister with The Church of Jesus Christ also known as The Churches of Jesus Christ International

Prior to coming to the Hamilton Dream Center, I attended the Vineyard Community Church from 1992 to 2006.

I attend a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. Went to UPC churches for many years - 2 here where I live, 1 in Pontiac, Michigan and one in Owosso, Michigan. But left about 25 years ago. I still visit and have lots of friends who go, but not me no more.

Re: What "type" of church do you attend?
 
I go to a UPC church in AZ. I am more charismatic I suppose than they are, but my wife and her family have been going to this church almost their whole life. I was raised ALJC in TN. I have also attended Christ Life Church in Tempe, AZ which was started by Jim and Sharon Roam. Now I am the lead singer for U2! LOL

Oneness Pentecostal.
Our late father founded the church we still attend, in 1958. Although Dad held license
with the UPCI, as does the present pastor, our church has never been affiliated with
the UPCI. We do work in fellowship with the UPCI.
