Denominations Don't Seem To Matter
One of the changes I've seen in young people over the past 30 years is their willingness to go from one church to another. Granted, many teens don't even go to church. But it's interesting to see kids who, let's say, "belongs" to a Mennonite church will attend a youth function at a Catholic Church and vice versa. Denominations in general seem to have less drawing power than they once did. Some churches with denominational ties won't use the denomination's name in their church title. Thus Temple Baptist becomes NorthRidge Church. Few people today will join a church simply because it's Methodist. For better or worse, people will choose a church that best meets their personal needs. People want quality, clarity, convenience and community. Especially community! Relationships will trump everything else in a church. So what do you think? Do you go to a church because of its denominational ties?
