If you were searching for a new church community, what are the top 3 things that you would be looking for?

@timamor
1. Biblical teaching. If there's no reading, if the Word is an afterthought, or if sin is a dirty word, I'm out. If we can't talk about sin, then we can't talk about why Jesus died. It's not the personal power hour, it's the celebration of His resurrection.

2. Welcoming humanity. My wife and I were looking into church options a while back and at some of them we were stared at rather than welcomed.

3. Separation of Church and State. A local pastor has used the term "woke" unironically in a sermon from the pulpit, complaining about the "woke agenda." I can't be guided by someone so misguided. It's one thing to have an opinion, but to borrow a right-wing slur (as it's being used in that context) to drive a point is a pretty big line.
