For 16 years, I’ve had a church to call mine. Whenever I’d invite someone to come to a youth thing I’d start out with “My church is…”. I don’t have that anymore, and it’s weird because I just realized it. I hate that I’ve lost that because I like going to new churches but I miss having one place of worship…
Do you remember when we were younger and when we would be at church and there wouldn’t be any teenagers there because they were all sleeping in? When I was younger I told myself that I didn’t want to be one of those teenagers and that I would still go to church no matter how badly I wanted to sleep.
I don’t regret leaving Carmel because I love the feeling of being excited to go to church and to leave the service in awe of what the pastor said. However, I don’t like thinking about some of the adults in our church that think we’re sleeping in and not growing closer to God.
I hate the fact that faith comes at a price, but this is worth it. It just takes adjusting to…

So basically we have been going to the same church, Carmel Presbyterian, since before we can remember. And we really love every single person there. But the services are directed to an older generation and no one really gets the point of the sermons when the preacher preaches. Also our preacher fired our youth leader who we had been through a lot with and made church bearable. So we took it upon ourselves to go and find a place where we could really worship. We are still teaching sunday school at our home church and going to youth group there cause we don’t want to leave our friends behind. This blog will hopefully chronicle our journey through churches in Charlotte NC, and our positions on christianity in the world today.
