2010 Celebration United church plant under the leadership of Pastor Michael Thigpen and First Lady Melanie Thigpen

What biblical criteria do you need to be aware of when considering a new church? Let's compare the search for a new church to that of a new home. When looking for a house, people typically ask, How much does it cost? Is it large enough to meet our family's needs? How well is it built? Is it conducive to hospitality? Similarly, before choosing a church home you need to consider its spiritual  foundation, structure, function, and environment.

Before we consider those important components, please realize that no church is going to be perfect. You must seek God's will and be led by the Holy Spirit in selecting a church. Also you need to evaluate how you and your family can contribute to that church ministry and vision so it is not just another church, but truly a church home helping you WIN IN LIFE as YOU cultivate and sustain a strong relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
