Seeking a Church

As a librarian, I conduct research everyday. It was natural for me to use the internet to find a church. I discovered that In2 Church was very close, so I decided to attend the Crosswalk ministry's service last month.

I had already been indecisive about committing to a church for some time. There was always a reason for my hesitation such as the location or service time. Essentially, I enjoyed the first service and the members became friendlier. It was evident that I could feel God’s presence through the Crosswalk ministry. I have continued to attend In2 Church ever since.

In2 Church is unique. I feel like I am beginning to know a distinctive family of God. I prefer attending a church where the praise is enjoyable, the sermons are influential and the members are earnestly seeking the Lord. I prefer feeling like part of a “body of Christ” versus an attendee within a huge congregation.

“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.”
(1 Corinthians 12:27)


I truly believe that my discovery of the church was not random – it was an intervention of the Lord. He has a specific plan for me at this church, and I will welcome it with an open mind and heart. He already made an amazing impact through last week’s revival service “Encounter”.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:11-13

The verses above are important, because He has already shown His plan for me about my career and my move to New York from California. However, that can probably be explained another time. May the Lord bless all the members of Crosswalk!
