Up until now I have been bouncing between two churches,
The first is the church (Lets call it church A)I grew up in which I took a few years break from. It's a Pentecostal church and It's a very young vibrant people oriented church, I enjoy the worship music and the people and community at this church are very welcoming and sociable. There are lots of events to meet other Christians. they also have their own building which is great too
The teaching is okay, certain verses are picked and then it's explained by the pastor about how they are applicable to our lives. There's no context as to what is picked from the Bible and Ita kinda manipulated to be a very "feel good" sermon. I don't Goto this church for the message, more the people I know and fellowship.
The 2nd church (Lets call it church B)has a large Anglican influence and teaches the Bible so much better. They start at the beginning of a book and explain in detail verse by verse what's happening at the time what's written and you get a deep understanding of the scripture.
This church does not have their own building (they meet in a cinema weekly) and there aren't many events if any to meet new people. I am attending a weekly Bible study at this church. But beyond that there isn't much of a community to meet other Christians. The target audience are much more reserved and not really inclined for fellowship outside of a random meet and greet during the service on Sunday. The worship is okay but I don't feel very engaged at this church as the vibe of the environment in a cinema is very much stay for the two hours and go home
I haven't been to church A for a while simply because I was getting nothing out of the service. I have been enjoying church B much more for the message that is taught each week
So now comes where I'm stuck. I feel like I want to attend church A weekly because I'm really seeking a Christian community to be involved with and want a good circle of Christian friends I already know lots of people at this church Its just an effort to reconnect with them all. But on the other hand I don't enjoy the service and how they teach the Bible
For church B I want to attend weekly because the way they teach the Bible is great and I'm learning so much, however I'm torn to keep going here as there is not much of a community outside of volunteering/Bible study groups.
I could just listen to the message on YouTube and attend the weekly Bible study group I'm in but I feel as though I'm half assing if I Goto a different church on Sunday.
I need to pray about this and ask for God to help me make the right Decision.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
