How I Found a Wonderful Church to Worship

De BISAWiki

I finally moved to California for my dream job! As a creative design manager at a five-star hotel go here, my job is establishing advertisements mission peak baptist, marketing events, writing press releases, and even organizing concerts and parties within the hotel. When I moved I had everything prepared and it was a fairly simple transition. When Sunday came, however, I had realized I had to find a church.

My church in my hometown was perfect for me because it was small, close-knit, and many of the fellow worshippers had known me for my entire life. Since we were so close, I had the ability to take an active role in my church as well. Being in the choir and serving as a teacher's assistant in Sunday school was a fantastic experience. I wished to continue having an active role in a church however wasn't sure how to take the first step.

I wished to find a church that provided a similar community and opportunities. Moreover, I wanted to be in a church with a similar purpose as the one in my home town. There, we were concentrated on missionary work and being a great Christian Monday through Saturday, not just on Sundays. I knew there were lots of Baptist churches, San Jose Baptist among them, that shared my beliefs. However I wanted to make sure it was the right fit for me.

One day at my job, I was chatting with a colleague and she informed me about her church. It was an independent Baptist church. San Jose was where it was found, and they concentrated on missionary and evangelical work. I was thrilled to learn it was not far from home and I could actually participate in organizing trips and Bible camps for children. I decided I would go to the following Sunday and see if it was for me.

On that Sunday, I drove there with my coworker. She explained that the pastor concentrates on expository preaching. San Jose was not a location I expected to have a big population of Baptists but I was thoroughly amazed by the amount of followers at this church. There were at least 300 worshippers attending that Sunday. It was nice to see there were others with similar ideas and beliefs.

Eventually it was time for us to take our seats. I sat with my friend, and before I knew it, I loved what the pastor had to say. He talked about how we should always try our best to be the church instead of just going to it. By encouraging followers to take an active role in church, he said, the church will become a stronger, more helpful part of the community. When it was over, I walked up to thank the pastor and decided to join.

Now that I have joined I manage and arrange each of our purpose trips. Up until now I have actually planned a trip for Haiti and the Philippines this summer. I have also had the ability to help our Sunday school instructor organize a summer Bible camp. Hopefully my experience will motivate others to find the right church and become more knowledgeable about their faith.
