Whether you’re new to the area or want to research other options, you may be interested in finding a community church where you can worship. Finding the right location is a personal choice, and it takes time and research to find a space that’s in line with your spiritual needs. Here’s what you should keep in mind.

3 Tips for Selecting a Community Church

1. Examine Its Foundation

Understand the church’s beginnings. Its history can give you an idea of how it has grown through the years and what makes it essential to the community. Be honest about what you expect by considering your own needs and desires. For example, think about its approach to Bible study and the way sermons are delivered, and make sure their operations can meet your spiritual needs.

2. Consider Its Size

For some, size may not be as important, but others may prefer to worship in small, intimate settings instead of with large, animated groups. There’s nothing wrong with either choice. Selecting a church is a personal decision, and you should always be swayed by what makes you feel most comfortable so that you can focus on worship.

3. Make a Visit

Visit the church so that you can better understand it. Spend some time at Saturday or Sunday worship, and get to know other members and the leaders. Take the time to examine how others communicate with one another. Make sure there are bonds based on true human connection, genuine emotion, and positivity.
