Very good question Aaron, I went to sunday school a bit with friends as a kid, but then nothing after that. I have always believed in God but just never attended a church, I don't know why, I have no excuse. A couple years after I got married, My wife went with her daughter a few times and asked me to join them. I went once but was not real comfortable there. It was then that my wife started looking for a church closer to our house. She found the Community Alliance church a couple blocks away, tried it, liked it and asked my to try again. I have gone every week since.
From the time I walked in I felt a comfort come over me, I felt I belonged there. Within the first 6 months I had asked Christ into my heart, got baptised, and became a member of the church. Since then I have joined many small groups in the church including the mens ministry group I'm in now. God has also been working in me too. I have always been quiet and reserved, but He has called me forward to pray for others during alter calls, and after talking to my pastor and his wife, we feel that God may also be preparing me for Eldership in the church. It has been a very rewarding experience since coming to Christ, and am looking forward to whatever else it is that He has in store for me.
Thank you again for asking, I always enjoy telling people how He has moved me.
How about you, were you raised with God or did you find him later?
