What do you believe is the best type of church to go to if you are a Christian?

Question

I go to a Non-Denominational Christian Church called House of Prayer.

Answer 1

For me, personally, the best type of church to attend is the Episcopal Church. As for others, however, they'll have to make their own decision.

Answer 2

I was raised in a church that is Congregational and Presbyterian.
It was an excellent starting place for me and I learned a lot by being exposed to material from both denominations. When I went off to college my dad told me to remember that I was Congregational.

I was away from church for many years while waiting for my husband to be ready to go with me but that never happened. After he left I started attending a Congregational (UCC) church along with reading the Bible from cover-to-cover. I discovered that there just wasn't enough substance there for my thirsting spirit any longer and finally left. It was hard to do because the people were like family to me.

For nearly 2 years I attended various non-denominational churches and finally joined the New Life Bible Church (baptistic) and enjoy it immensely! I'm so glad I searched, thank you for asking.

Answer 3

I also attend Non-Denominational Church where I live. before I moved attended a variety of Churches because all of them had something I enjoyed but which the others lacked. by going to different Churches met and made more friends than just going to one.

Answer 4

You go to the the Church where you feel the happiest. Where you get a sense the Bible is being taught. A church where you have friends and support if needed. And most importantly one that does not waste time preaching against other Christian denominations.
After all, you all believe in Jesus as your savior. Albeit with differing (internal & operational) rules and traditions.

Answer 5

I say a good word church, where the pastor teaches the deep things of God. A non denominational church is usually fine, and so are holiness churches.

Answer 6

Church Of God,(Cleveland, Tennessee).

Answer 7

I am a Pentecostal but I do not think it matters what church you go to as long as you know who you are in Christ. Be sure the church is teaching the word of God and remember how much you are loved..

Matthew 4:4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'[a]"

Luke 8:11"This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. 12Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

1 Thessalonians 2:13And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

Revelation 12:11
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

Answer 8

A church called ANY church, that teaches the Holy Bible.

Answer 9

A church that teaches nothing but the Word of God. One that does not mix in the theories and doctrine of man.

Answer 10

One that respects the authority of Christ and the word of God!

The “church of Christ” is neither Catholic, nor Protestant. The church of Christ is not a denomination. The church of Christ identifies itself by name as a church that is trying to follow the “doctrine of Christ” (2 John 9). The “church of Christ” identifies itself by name as a church that belongs to Christ. The name points to the owner and builder. The name points to the one who purchased the church. (Matthew 16:18, Acts 20: 28)

In contrast to this the name of many denominations point to the name of a man, a particular practice, or the way they are organized. A member of a denomination identifies himself by name as one who submits to the authority of that denomination and tries to follow the doctrine (teaching) of that denomination. Why not just follow the doctrine and authority of Christ?

The church of the Bible is compared to a bride, with Christ being the groom. A bride honors the groom when she agrees to wear his name. But many churches today wear man made names.

Suppose, for example, Mr. Smith asks his girlfriend to marry him. She agrees, but says, “Our friend Mr. Jones is a good man, so when we get married, instead of being called Mrs. Smith, I want to be called Mrs. Jones.” Would Mr. Smith have a reason to question her loyalty to him? Would he feel honored? Why would a bride wear another man’s name? Why would a church want to wear a man-made name? The “church of Christ” wears a name found in scripture (Romans 16: 16).


The church of Christ wishes to restore the church to the teaching that was established and authorized by Christ and his apostles. We wish to have Biblical authority for everything we practice and teach. (Col. 3:17)

The Bible teaches that Jesus is the head of the church and the church is his body. (Eph. 1:22-23) The church of Christ recognizes this, and therefore there is no “headquarters” on earth. Each congregation is independent and goes directly to the Bible to learn what should be taught and how we should worship. We believe the Bible is sufficient and we need no other authority or creed books. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3) Christ has “all authority” and we wish to follow this authority by following the things He taught. (Matt 28:18-20) We don’t want to add any man-made doctrine. (If we follow the authority or teaching of men, then Christ does not have “all authority” in our spiritual lives.) If we teach as doctrine the commandments of men, this makes our worship vain! (Matthew 15:9)

Please do not confuse the church of Christ with the “United Church of Christ”, the “International Church of Christ”, the “Church of Christ Scientists”, or the “Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints (Mormons)”. These groups are not the same and they teach drastically different things!

If you wish to know more about those who simply want to be New Testament Christians (nothing more, nothing less, nothing else), I invite you to investigate the church of Christ by comparison to the Scriptures! I have included a few web sites below that you might wish to visit, or you can e-mail me with any additional questions.

Thank you for your good question!

Find a good church that wants to follow the doctrine of Christ (2 John 9) not the doctrines of men!
