Finding a Church Home-Church One

In June while I was in town on vacation to do my assistantships I visited turningpoint.

First impressions.
Some people were friendly and greated me before the service. There was an area with snacks and drinks that a couple of people pointed out to me.


The service.
The service is described as "turningpoint is a worship service for: skeptics, believers,veterans, rookies, the passionate, and the burned-out,
who seek to know and follow Jesus Christ.the music is rock n roll the dress is causal"
It was a typical contemporary Presbyterian worship service. There were familiar songs, but when the powerpoint stopped working the congregation didn't know what to do. The youth pastor came up and honored the HS graduates.

The message. Over a month later I can only tell you it was a message that had something to do about clubs or sports.

The church.
It was hard to get a read on the overall church, or even find their bathroom. Partially because after the service I was not interested in staying too long I didn't check the rest of everything out. I did go up and speak to one of the pastors about the emergent network afterwards but got the impression that they needed to be doing something else or there was someone better to speak with.

Overall.It appeared to be a typical Presbyterian, "frozen choosen" church. There wasn't anything bad about it but since it's at least 30 minutes from here and there is probably something like it in my living community I will be looking closer to me.
