Poll: Where do you worship?

[*anj*]

I was just wondering where people go for corporate worship. There is no way to include every religious expression or Christian denomination, so I'll just do a general thing. If someone else wants to start a different one that might have more specifics of non-Christian religions that would be cool too.

[Kelli in TN]

Well, you know I go to a totally rockin' non-denom!!

My church's website (http://www.loveandtruthchurch.com/)

[King Alfred Academy]

Is there an "other"? We are Anglican...our church broke away from the Episcopalian church.

Excellent point!
I knew I'd miss something like that.
Hmmmm....

[Shelly in MD]

LCMS, to be precise.

[Jennifer in MI]

Episcopal. Dh is an Episcopal priest. http://www.stjohnsdetroit.org/ Come visit our website! The good looking priest is my dh!!:001_smile: The music is our choir.

[Rich with Kids]

Southern Baptist. It's fairly liberal for a baptist church.

[*anj*]

Yikes. I knew that I'd be leaving out some biggies. Okay, someone start another one that includes the ones I forgot.

[sdWTMer]

We go to a conservative, non-institutional church of Christ.

[Lorna in the boonies]

Other. My dh is an Assemblies of God pastor.

[Melinda in VT]

United Church of Christ

[RebeccaC]

How about the many varied Charismatics, Pentecostals, and Orthodox flavors:001_smile:

[Cornerstone Classical]

Other. My dh is an Assemblies of God pastor.

I attended COG (cleveland, TN)all my life- until recently now PHC...

[Needleroozer]

Another other. We go to a Unity "church". Not really a formal religion or churchy kind of place, that's why it's in quotes. In fact, I have been trying to come up with a word that works better for me than saying, "I am going to church today."hh

[Adrianne]

Other - Bible Fellowship.

[Virginia Dawn]

We go to a conservative, non-institutional church of Christ.

I also attend a semi-conservative church of Christ.

[theodwyn]

Lutheran now, were Episcopalian, varied background.

[dangermom]

Other--we are LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), aka Mormons.

[hana]

UU here. :001_smile:

[Carol in Cal.]

[beansprouts]

I attend a Baptist church, but I do not really fit in with any denomination.

[TheJoyfulMom]

I am Episcopalian and my husband is Native American- I'm not sure what his "religion" would be called.

[Karen sn]

The beach, the woods, sometimes at the Jewish Temole.

[Jenny in Atl]

Lapsed Episcopalian (with all sorts of other stuff mixed in heritage wise).

Awwww, I'm still frozen chosen in my heart! :001_smile:

We still love you anj, even though you go to that no membership church now. ;)

[Mama Bear]

:D

I know! And that kind of thing totally freaks out the Presby in me! :001_huh:

[PrairieAir]

We have small, non-denominational fellowships in our home and sometimes at my husband's parents' home or at his sister's. Sometimes we attend larger fellowships that have been held in rented conference rooms and such.

I know you asked specifically about "corporate" worship. (Does that phrase give anyone else a funny mind picture?) As much as I enjoy fellowshipping with others, I do like Emily Dickinson's idea of worship.

SOME keep the Sabbath going to church;
I keep it staying at home,
With a bobolink for a chorister,
And an orchard for a dome.

Some keep the Sabbath in surplice; 5
I just wear my wings,
And instead of tolling the bell for church,
Our little sexton sings.

God preaches,—a noted clergyman,—
And the sermon is never long; 10
So instead of getting to heaven at last,
I ’m going all along!

[debbiec]

We're Southern Baptist, but in most ways, closer to Presbyterian except for baptism

[PrairieAir]

I had to look up "frozen chosen"! Someone has a blog called The Frozen Chosen's Lederhosen. That just made me laugh--and want to keep rhyming. Maybe we should start a thread...:D

[MtnMom]

Another other here! We are Lutheran (Missouri Synod).

[cin]

And yet another other....Evangelical Free:cool:

[Sharon in SC]

Hi! I grew up in a southeastern Church of God (the denomination out of Cleveland, TN). :-D

[Sharon in SC]

[Frontier Mom]

I attended COG (cleveland, TN)all my life- until recently now PHC...

I lived there for over 10 years.

[beansprouts]

Has anyone else noticed that "non-denominational" is actually becoming a denomination of its own? I don't quite fit in there either :confused: Maybe I should check out PrarieAir's home church - the first "churches" were all small groups who met in people's homes, and there are some who say we are returning there... ;)

[OnTheBrink]

Non-denom here. www.svchapel.org

[NancyinCA]

Christian and Missionary Alliance here. :)

[Gigi]

Same here.

[Jenny in Florida]

Another UU family here!

[Natalieclare]

Our little church is consociated with http://www.hofcc.org/. We are having a blast with this start up! I love the flavor of Reformed doctrine with charismatic/pentecostal freedom with a strong dash of evangelical.

[astrid]

.....seems right up our alley! Got any great suggestions?

[OneRoomHomeSchool]

(Independent Fundamental) Baptist

[astrid]

Awww! He's a cutie! Lovely website; I enjoyed listening to the choir and poking around a bit! Thanks for sending the link!

[Jenny in Florida]

Are you looking for a UU church in your area? Or resources to check out before you go? Or . . . .?

I've been a UU for over 20 years, and I'll be happy to chat or answer any questions I can.

--Jenny

[st_claire]

None of the above. We don't worship. We are Atheists.

That looks like exactly what I wish I could find here.

[Holly IN]

Here is my church's website:

www.tpcc.org
Traders Point Christian Church

It is a Non-denominational Christian Church. It is becoming a liberal church. We are currently looking for another Christian church or instrumental Church of Christ church. For now this is where our membership is and we are currently attending this church.

Just for discussion, *why* did you put the choices you did in the poll?

We attend a Foursquare church, but normally, I just tell people I am "Christian", because too many people equate denomination with the actual religion that you are.

They were literally the first 10 things that popped into my head. Even as I posted it, I knew that there would be people whose churches weren't represented, but the polls are limited to 10 choices. I didn't think it was really necessary to have an "other" option because people still would've done that they did here: not vote and then mention their specific house of worship within the thread itself. So, no big agenda or anything, just threw out the ideas! :001_smile:

[Gailmegan]

Another Presby here - PCA to be specific

[mcmom4]

If my folks took me to church as a child, it was Nazarene. My aunt always took me to her extremely strict Baptist church. In my teens, I joined a Baptist Church. Then went to Church of God (out of Cleveland, Tn)m then non-denominational with charismatic flavor and have been in home church for over 5 years now.

[KIN]

;) Dh and I grew up Mennonite and now are members of a Conservative Mennonite church, that is conservative in belief but not in our worship or style of dress.

[KarenNC]

.....seems right up our alley! Got any great suggestions?

I'm available for questions as well (we've been members for 10 years). www.uua.org has a listing of congregations in various areas, as well as material about the association.

It's got its challenges, but overall it has been a very good community for us.
