Check the boxes that correspond to what you look for in a church to attend.
I had more poll choices but the list of choices is limited by the poll.
 
Location, location, location. :)

I don't think I'd ever find what I consider the best. I picked one that "looked good" years ago and planted roots. I only attend with a handful that have stayed over the years. Sad.

hi

i didnt join any fellowship because of the above options

i joined a fellowship because after i had a born again encounter a family friend invited me to a fellowship meeting it was at this fellowship meeting that help me to grow and build upon my foundation

it was through fellowshipping reading the word of God transforming and discipleship that help me to develop and understand my belief system and it is because of my belief system that i believe i am able to fellowship at denomination that meets my needs

now im not saying this the true church or interprets the truth the most accurately or everyone has to believe what we believe and practice

im just saying my choice of fellowship has helped me to develop my personal relationship with Jesus and like all members in the body of Christ regardless of denomination i am trying to love the Lord my God with all my heart soul mind and strength and love my neighbor as my self

Peace

Yeah, you're pretty lite on choices there. I voted teaches me the bible because it's the closest to how I feel and think. My church here brought me in by being walking distance from my place. I literally live next door to it.

The first thing I look for in any church, is the presence of the Holy Spirit. The second thing I look for is the message. Is their message designed to equip the congregation with the tools needed to grow and operate as children of the Lord in these end days? Or...is it a happy-clappy church?

I could go on and on here but that's the basic few things I look for.
 
I visited the current church I attend (been there 28 years) and was impressed by the powerful preaching. We've been though a lot and have a new preacher (he's my kid's age). The word is preached, God is revered, Jesus is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is present. It's a small town but a big church (two services). I attend a small group as well.

Had the church not had an active youth group (which I served in for over 10 years) I'd have gone elsewhere. I had young kids back then.
 
I prefer big tithe church that performs lying signs and wonders. The bigger the better. Private Jets are a huge need for the Lord's people so if it has a private jet even better.
 
If I was a big time preacher traveling all over the world to speak, I'd want to be translated rather than take a crappy plane. Even my own crappy jet. I've listened to testimonies on youboob about people who have been being translated for years to go preach in China or wherever, or to church and back for some of them. Now that there would just be the ultimate way to travel!

These same testimonies also have said that translation by faith will be Christians primary mode of travel during the mark of the beast days. We'll see...
