Moving to a new location unfortunately means the search for a church community begins again. Last time the process took about seven months when I move to NC for various reasons, this time I'd love to be connected before school begins in August.
Adam McLane began blogging about his families search for a new church home as they more to CA and I'm getting in on it too!
The search actually began back in May as I was applying for assistantships and was looking to see what churches were in the area.
How will I chose the churches to visit?

What am I looking for?
-A church who's theology is solid-aka: my crap detector doesn't go off and it's Biblical truth
-A pastor who spiritual gift is teaching- aka: the sermons are decent
-A church who expresses themselves in worship through multiple ways
-A church who welcomes people unlike them
-A church who embraces contemporary music
-A church who spends more time serving Christ outside of the church walls than inside of them

Hope the search is going well. It CAN be an exciting time in one's spiritual walk. Here is a post that I did a ways back for folks looking for a church. This is more about discerning community, but if it helps, great!
