I went to church all the time I felt like I don't fit in there. I'm always to myself I don't have any friends. I feel they don't understand me. Church people love talking about people. I sense alot of church people don't like me it becomes uncomfortable going to church.

I have found that while I get nervous about being myself, if I can just have courage to be who God made me to be, I always manage to connect with others better when I’m honest and myself. A lot of fears are our own perception of how others see us. Stick with it! And, of course, pray and ask God to help you find a connection. One good friend goes a long way!!

That makes me feel better knowing that even though I'm single I'm not the only person going through that. Couples go do the same thing also. It's like most churches today have their favorite clicks and groupies they like to hang out with.

You are absolutely not alone. Remember even church folk are flawed too, offer grace and keep trying to find a group you can feel comfortable with. Maybe ask the pastor to start a Bible study (there are plenty that have video studies if you aren’t able to teach it yourself), and meet some new people that way!

You are SO not alone! I find churchgoing one of the single most stressful things to do in life.

for me it's different, I am 16 and didn't grow up Christian- but Jesus saved me from my own mental decay, I read his word everyday and pray. When I went to this baptism meet it felt so structured and the young people wouldn't answer any questions but me and another guy. It feels so distant compared to how close i've grown with God outside of going to a Church, they feel like strangers

Ah, so glad you accepted Christ as your Saviour, sweet sister! So exciting! The process of being made more Christ-like (aka- sanctification) is the work of the Holy Spirit and is a lifelong process that will never be completed this side of Heaven. We ALL stumble, and not a single of one us has this all worked out and perfected. That’s what makes the gift of salvation such a glorious act of love from our Heavenly Father!

I've been going to church all my life & sadly, am still very single. To make that worse, a lot of the youths at my church are mostly married to each other, which from how I see it as, chances are slim that I'll get someone from there. So I've come to a conclusion & decided that I'll just stop my church attendance. I know it's disappointing but.....

Oh Rebekah, your comment sounds like you have a heavy heart and deep longing for a spouse. I would encourage you to keep attending wherever your local body of believers meets. We attend to meet with God and to encourage one another. That’s the main purpose of being part of God’s body. The Bible tells us to not neglect to meet together (Heb 10), so we know God commands it because we need it, even when it’s hard. As much as finding a spouse is a lovely thing, seeking God first is the reason we show up on a Sunday morning because whether you find a spouse or not, God is still God and He is still good and worthy of our praise.

I watching this video now because I don’t feel like go to church later, I always feel nervous in the church with so many ppl, I want to find an answer, and then now I think one day on the waiting room to the heaven it’s not gonna just be me, we will gather together one day just like we in the church so I better get used to it

No one is “good” enough, that’s the beauty of what God did for us! He died for us while we were still sinners, and what a gift of love! We come messy and covered in sin, He redeems and changes our lives. The “being made more Christ-like” process takes a lifetime of walking with His Spirit, and will never be completed this side of Heaven. Just remember, those of us in Christ are all walking that walk together.

Being single and over 30 in the church is a depressing place!

Going to church is not works. It's not even faith. It's a deception of the church beast system.

Churches are inherently broken, as it is full of people who, through Christ Jesus, recognise their own brokenness. The problem is that people stiil bring the world into the church. Jesus accepts & loves us, exactly as we are & as we journey with him through the word, praying as much as we can about everything, we become sensitive to the holy spirit & we then learn to walk it out. Our relationship w Christ is a very personal thing, once mature, we then exhibit Christ in what we do. Our brokenness becomes our testimony to others, our tattoos & piercings become a symbol of the changes Christ has made in our lives. I have just left a very toxic church which brought the world & govt in & lives by their own pagan ideology. Christ is no longer the head of that church. Due to, & only because of my study & relationship w Christ, am i not dissillusioned & walking away, blaming Christ for what others do. Church is where believers gather, to build & grow each other, if this is not happening, then in short, the church is not a good one. Move on.

Church has become a clicky place these days that is soo sad 😢

Its one thing if you got a bunch of demonic tattoos before you knew better or before you found Christ. But its another thing if you're still tattooing your flesh and trying to put on a worldly look after you've come into the truth. We are called to be a light unto the world and to put off all appearance of evil.

The perfect church on Earth does not exist and you cannot make the perfect church. If you can prove me wrong and find this church DO NOT JOIN IT!!! If you do you will spoil it.
