When you want to get your family involved in the church, you need to actually start church hunting. Too often, people treat the church as a commodity and behave as if they are a customer that switches their loyalty over the worst things. It’s important that you choose a church that’s right for your beliefs, and it’s right for your family. 

Some churches don’t feel as comfortable as others, and while religion tends to be rather a smorgasbord of choices, you need to pick a church that makes you feel comfortable and at peace. You can look at the reviews of a church in the same way that you would look at Living Church of God reviews, or a pastor reviews before you start. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to find a new church, here are some of the ways that you can find one that suits you, the religion you want to follow and your family.

  • Get online. Did you know you can research your options for church online? When you consider church websites and social media pages, remember that you are looking for something that doesn’t show off and isn’t too in your face. Churches are supposed to be peaceful places that give you a sense of community, it shouldn’t be a concert hall and it shouldn’t be somewhere that brags about itself, because it kind of goes against the idea of idolizing.
  • Pray. Sometimes you need a little bit of spiritual guidance, so praying before you go to a new church is a good idea. Sometimes it’s a good idea to pray for a positive impact on others and sometimes it’s pressed to be open to the church you are about to attend. The key here is to pray and to allow guidance into your heart and make all the difference to your choice.
  • Look for the church that makes you smile when you walk in the door. Old, dusty and cold churches are very common, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a good sense of community from the people on the inside. As we said, churches about the people more than the actual remove all sitting in to pray. The room could be as rundown as anything but the people could be the best community you ever have. When you walk through the door, if you get that feeling of peace and people are welcoming and smile at you for coming into the church, you may be in the right place.
  • Introduce yourself. When you go to a new church, arriving early for mass and then introducing yourself to other people afterwards can give you a good indication of whether the church is right for you. You want a church that allows you to feel connected as part of the service, and that means a church that has people who are happy to see you there, who want to invite you to their community events, and who give you their time. Finding a good community is the main reason you should not give up meeting at church altogether.
