Personal Narrative: My Trip To A Baptist Christian Church

1045 Words5 Pages

I decided to go to a Baptist Christian Church. Up until a week ago I haven 't been to church in a few years. Growing up I would attend different churches such as Catholic, Pentecostal, and a Baptist. To be honest, I didn’t enjoy them as much because they bored me and I was sitting there waiting for it to be over. At the time I wasn’t really old enough to take in and appreciate the church for what they were, instead I would just attend these church 's because the people I was with wanted to go. I attended Cedar Creek Church because I was told that It was a fun and different from traditional churches. When I sat down and thought about church 's I could go to for this assignment Cedar Creek was one of the first ones that came to mind. I was told Cedar Creek was a fun environment an I know a few people that attend Cedar Creek so I didn’t feel like a stranger or an outsider, which was one of my fears going into this assignment.

As the service came to an end the band came back on the stage and started to play slow music. The man who grabbed the micophone in the beginning got on stage and the church prayed together. As the prayer ended the band began to play louder and they played one last song and the service was over. The feeling that I had after attending Cedar Creek was very positive and put me in a fantastic mood. After attending Cedar Creek church the first time I have gone as much as I can and I get frustrated when I have to work on Sundays because it means that I don’t get to attend the church service. Overall attending Cedar Creek was a fantastic experience. I kept telling myself that I should try and go back to church, but this assignment gave me a reason to actually do it. I attended Christian churches before, but they were older style churches where everyone dresses up the music that is played is dated. I have to say that attending Cedar Creek showed me that not all churches are the same and that there are more "modern"

    Bethel Baptist Church never encountered a challenge like this before. The church accepted an invitation to participate in a mission in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Making an appearance in a foreign environment terrified both adolescents and adults. Even with those uneasy feelings, the congregation quickly zeroed in on the goal at hand in spreading God’s love to this needy region.

The deceptions that Christian’s allow themselves to believe (i.e. just this once, it’s not going to hurt anyone, I can handle it, I can stop whenever I want, etc.) come directly from Satan. There was a time when hearing a curse word or seeing too much flesh in a movie would be embarrassing; now it appears to be the norm and most Christians do not even bat an eye at such things any more.

I was also very happily surprised by the age of the church. From my background I am used to seeing an older congregation and from my study of the Lutheran church I expected the same. But though this may seem to be a more traditional, the church the congregation was rather young. I also expected the dress to be more formal, but again the church was very similar to the Baptist churches I have been a
