A friend of mine just moved several states away and relayed to me about her search for a new church to call home.
She
said that the first church was close by, in an old strip mall, very
non-traditional, no organ, but great music. They have a rotating music
team that does a great job. They have about 200 people at each service
and it is a little too large for them. They have three clergy and all
three deliver great sermons.
They then visited another church
nearby which was very modern, had a big (overpowering) organ, modern
stained glass windows and incredibly BORING sermons.
Then they
found another church, about 20 minutes away, that was established in
1752. The building was from 1825 and they have an old tracker organ
from 1883 which was recently refurbished. It is a smaller church and
has about 75 in the congregation. The sermon was great, the organ
didn't overpower the congregation, there were very good singers in the
congregation and this one pleased them in every way.
What do you look for in a church?
