Consumer mindset rather than a servant attitude: “What will I get out of it?” or “Will services be entertaining?”
“Church hopper” who only stays until they are asked to join and commit

You’ve moved to a new area
You need to be in a healthier church
1. PRAY
ASK GOD TO GIVE YOU WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT IN FINDING THE CHURCH FAMILY WHERE HE WANTS YOU TO SERVE
2. PERUSE
GO ONLINE FOR CHURCHES IN PROXIMITY TO YOUR HOME. CHECK OUT THEIR “STATEMENT OF FAITH” OR “DOCTRINAL BELIEFS.”
3. BE PATIENT
IT MAY TAKE MONTHS TO FIND THE RIGHT CHURCH. BE WILLING TO VISIT SEVERAL CHURCHES.
See Ep. 13-20 “Putting The Fun In…” series!
The supremacy of God
Jesus as the resurrected Son of God and the only mediator between God and man.
The Bible as the inspired, inerrant Word of God (without error in the original manuscripts) and the final authority for life and belief
LOCATION IS IMPORTANT: LOOK FOR CHURCHES CLOSE TO YOUR HOME.
WORSHIP STYLES ARE ALSO IMPORTANT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. (Check out Ep. 30!)

4. MEET PEOPLE AND LEARN ABOUT THE NEXT STEPS FOR YOU.
