Need a little advice

[Sparkles]

I just started going to church about 1.5 years ago I joined the first church I saw and thought. Ok this is it for me and my kids. (My DH will not go to any church ) Well I always felt a little uncomfortable there. It is a UCC church and their whole slogan is "Wherever you are on lifes Journey you are welcome here." I guess I was so new in my Christianity that I thought I would just walk right into a room full of saved people and everything would be happy happy. Well I met with the Reverend early on and asked her Do you encourage everyone to get saved because it says in the Bible "No one comes to the Father except through me" She rplied to me that i"t also says we shouldn't eat shellfish" and that was the end of that conversation. So I decided maybe I will still go there and try to get to know everyone and maybe encourage others there. Well I spoke to someone there about Jesus and God and How Happy I am to be saved and she looked at me like I was Crazy!
I also sent a Bible verse to one of the Sunday School teachers who I new was having a hard time with her son and I later heard that she told one of my friends not a church member - that was "So Cute" of me.
Now fast forward. We had a visiting Minister from another UCC. She talked a lot about Biblical History and geography I thanked her and said I find it really interesting we got to talking I asked her if she was interested in Bible Prophecy and she said "I'm not a Bible literalist." She also ran from me.
Now I feel like I should find another church I want Christian friends I get no fellowship where I am at all . Do I stay and keep trying or do I go. I know my kids enjoy the church and their friends there but I don't know if its the best place for me.
Sorry this is so long
Thanks

Find another church. Tomorrow. Please. Don't set foot back in that place. And, you've got a bigger responsibility to have your children taught right than to be close to their friends. Please. Don't go back. :hug

Lisa-- Thanks for saying this. As I read it to my husband we both realized that we need to make the right decision concerning our kids.... Thanks

Agreed...run, don't walk. For the sake of your children, you need to find a real solid Bible teaching/adhering church. I would not return to this church again and find another one to visit tomorrow. I have said a prayer for guidance for you and your family. I know it is hard to find a good church, like humans we all have our faults, but the church MUST stand on God's literal Word. :pray

Sounds like a bunch of carnal christians or lost people. I don't see any opportunities there for your to grow. You need meat, not a bottle. If you're not growing, I'd say move along. Get out now!
