How to Choose a Christian Denomination | /r/christians
Summary
In the /r/christians server, members are engaging in a thoughtful discussion about how to discern which church denomination aligns with their personal faith and interpretation of Scripture. The conversation covers the transition from non-denominational backgrounds to structured denominations, highlighting the importance of systematic theology and theological frameworks like Covenant theology. This discussion is vital for those seeking guidance on finding a church home through prayer and study....
I've only ever gone to non-denominational churches, and while I do enjoy for the most part, I'm also curious about other denominations. I don't know much about the differences in all of them (I'm looking into it currently).
Hope this was the right spot for this question. Thank you 💜
Ignore that bot
Finding a denomination should come from your reading of Scripture, understanding key denominational differences, meditating on what Scripture says worship should be like, and then finding what structure aligns with the aforementioned.
I went to 4 different nondenominational churches over the course of years, before finally landing within a denomination. I do now believe that the structure of non-denominationalism is not beneficial to the overall invisible church, and advocate for denominations as a whole.
A big piece is how does your church interpret Scripture From a systematic theology standpoint?
A huge thing for me was finding a church that held to Covenant theology over dispensationalism
im over it
