I found a new church last fall but have only really begun attending in earnest in February or March of this year. New job, new church, who dis?
It’s the kind of church I’ve been looking for but thought I’d never find: diverse and inclusive. Solid Biblical preaching while also being LGBTQ+ affirming. All kinds of races, ages, and genders. Single people are valued just as much as people who have partners. It’s kinda scary how much I love my church TBH. Nothing in life can be this perfect.
It’s a complete 180 from where I’ve come: my church has a female pastor and sings worship songs that I probably would’ve made fun of 3 years ago. (The songs are growing on me actually. But my son doesn’t care for them.)
I’m also at a job that is diverse and inclusive. These are specific areas that I’ve wanted to target in the past few years, and I feel blessed that God is providing these opportunities.
