Church Hunting

Brandon and I are currently searching for a church to attend together. For a year we were both going to the Hub University Church. They used to meet at the downtown Orlando YMCA, but now they share space with Fort Gatlin Alliance Church off of Michigan and Bumby. Back in January, I decided to leave that church for several reasons. I don't want to go into it on here, but if you want to know why, then ask me in person. So I left and was going back to my church of 10 or so years. Now that Brandon and I are engaged, I feel that we should make the decision together on which church we should go to. There are some things that I feel are important in a church.

Sound doctrine- follows the bible strictly, believes the bible is God's holy word and that everything in it is true

Bible based teaching-Teaches God's word, doesn't pick and choose topics or twist topics. 1 Timothy 6:3- If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions

Discipleship- a place to go deeper into God's word in a group setting, learn from eachother, become stronger in our faith

Accoutability- a place to confess sin, encourage one another and lift eachother up.

Evangelism- We are to go and reach the lost. Matthew 9:37-38
Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."

Fellowship Making time to be together outside of church, getting to know eachother, loving one another. Hebrews 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."

Please pray for Brandon and I as we go through this process. Pray that God will make it clear where we should attend church and that Brandon and I will listen to what he says and be able to hear His voice.
