We are officially a family without a church
But we are still part of THE church.
What now, Lord?

Yay for you! Congratulations on this first difficult step. You steps will be ordered by the Lord. Peace, my friend.

Simply that we want God to show what He wants us to do now.

Yup, now that the whole pesky bothersome part of having a pastor, teacher, elders, etc that the Bible talks about are gone out of his life.
I always find it amusing when folks post like you just did that somehow it is better for people not to be a part of a church even though the epistles clearly teach the role of pastors, teachers, etc in our lives.

Heb_10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Re: We are officially a family without a church
Ephesians chapter 4 beginning at verse 11 speaks to the role of the church, pastors, teaches, etc in the christian's life.
This is not to say there won't be a time in a person's life when they are between churches but those times should be few and far between and should not be for an extended period of time.
My observation over many decades is that if folks don't plug into another church in a timely manner they usually start to enjoy pastoring themselves even though it is not the biblical pattern for their spiritual growth.
