Attending church with your family can often bring you closer to each other just as much as it brings you closer to God. You want to make sure the church you choose is one where you can feel comfortable and welcomed attending. You also want to choose a church teaching the same beliefs you believe in. If you have never been to church or you’re looking for a new church, consider the following before selecting a church you want to commit to in Jacksonville.
Members
Pay attention to the members of the churches in Jacksonville you’re visiting. They should be filled with the Lord and welcoming of visitors. You should enter the church and feel as though you’re at home instead of feeling as if you’re a stranger in a building.
Leaders
Although church in Jacksonville should have a qualified pastor, there should also be other leaders who assist the pastor in reaching the members and visitors of the church. Many churches have a youth pastor, children’s ministry team, and a worship leader among other leaders who take over committees. Each leader should love serving the Lord and teach lessons based upon the bible.
Method of Preaching
When you go to church, you expect to hear preaching. However, you shouldn’t feel like you’re being yelled at when you sit in the church. The pastor should teach the congregation about the Bible as well as provide the example of how to live like Jesus. A pastor should never bring the congregation down and make you feel as though you are unworthy of love. You should feel like you can talk to the pastor about any concern you have or any issue that you’re facing in your life.
