A few more reasons why I like my new church...

WORSHIP:

1. There is total freedom of expression. Some people dance. Some people shout. Most lift their hands. And EVERYONE participates. (And by the way, there is no judgment on the person who chooses to worship without these expressions).

2. I can barely hear myself singing during worship - not because the music is so loud, but because the congregation is so loud!

3. Talented musicians, who play EVERY Sunday, and EVERY Wednesday without fail. No rotation. That's serious commitment.


PREACHING:

4. Solid, Biblically sound preaching.

5. The pastor is not afraid to challenge his congregation.

6. The preaching is enthusiastic and engaging.


THE YOUTH GROUP:

7. This church is about 1/2 the size of my previous church, and the youth group is about 3 times as big.

8. When I heard a few of the youth testify, it was clear that there was a depth of faith in them that is unusual among their peers, and it inspired me.

9. The teens always worship with all their hearts. Lifting hands, dancing, etc.


OTHER STUFF:

10. The pastor has a cool accent.

11. You can tell that God is moving in this church.

12. They're in the process of putting up a new building.
