We joined a church!

Yep, after only 2 visits to the weekend services, we signed up for a class to find out more about the church. We have been around the block a few times with finding a church and we know exactly what we are looking for... so we didn't waste any time! We have always been able to "know" if it is the church for us after we hear about the history, beliefs and philosophy of the church. Last night, we attended the 101 class just to find out more about the church. Before we went, we didn't even know if the church had a denomination or not or really what any of the beliefs were (other than those posted on the website). We knew that we liked the style of worship and that the preaching was good (we have heard 2 different preachers) and that the information on the website looked and sounded good.

By the end of the class last night, there was no doubt in either of our minds that this is the church we are looking to call "home". The class was led by the senior pastor, so afterwards, I took the opportunity to ask him some "insider" questions (since I've worked for a church before)... and we were thrilled with the answers! We truly believe that God is calling us to this church - I'm just amazed that we found it so quickly!! I'm looking forward to joining a small group, serving and meeting our new "family" members. I know that nothing can replace our church in Texas, nor our church family... no church will ever be the same, but I'm hoping the new can be just as good in time.
