My best friend is Morman but I realize God never wanted us to be alone on our spiritual walk, so I really just want a friend who can help deepen my relationship with God.

Hey Lauren,
Well, for starters pray. Faith is not about church, its not about how spiritual you can look, get, or be. It is about the romance between you and Jesus. The love life between you and Him, and yes, we need friends to help us along, because love is hard, epsecially with Jesus. Jesus understands this, and He wants you to love Him, because He loves you desperately and longs fo you. He knows you will be happiest when you are deep in your love for Him. He will be more than pleased to give you a friend to help you on your jearney.
Pray, ask Him, He will never disapoint you.

Very good question. A good place to start is to find a local church where you feel comfortable, and the gospel is preached. You should soon fiend friends there. Also see if there are any local Christian groups that have people in your age group with the same beliefs. Pray to the Lord, that He would send you good Christian friends. There are also people and groups on the internet where you can find Christian friends, but be aware that there are a lot of fakes out there. Finally, i must add that you have a friend in me, as i am a believer also. Thank you for your question and may God richly bless you.

Attending church and joining a Bible Study that is for your age group. Trying to get involved in as many activities at your church as you can. Volunteer to help with VBS...you will meet tons of people doing any of these things. Through it you can find some of your Best Friends. I found my Best Friend by walking up to her at a park one day. We started talking and got together so I could give her a facial (Mary Kay), and we hit it off from there. I love being a part of Mary Kay for that reason. It is a Christian company that wants you to keep your priorities in order of God first, Family second, and Career third. I have made tons of really neat Christian friends through Mary Kay. You could also give that a try if you are 18 or older. Most importanatly though, start praying about your desire to have a good solid Christian friend who will help rather than hurt your relationship with God. Hope these are some ideas you can use. God Bless!

Seek relationships at church with people of your own age and interests. If you have a small church with few members your age, call around to other nearby churches of the denomination of your preference. Find out if they have activities your church can join theirs during events - so you can meet more folks.
One of the neatest experiences I ever had was visiting a friend in Dallas at Prestonwood Baptist Church. Tuesdays and Thursdays they invited singles from all area Christian churches to come together for an all-city praise time. It was AMAZING. I later found that churches in my small town did similar things. I really enjoy the interaction - and it lets you make new friends.
Always remember this:.
Matthew 6:33-34 "But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well. Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today. "
Peace hon.

You should have a youth group at church. If not then perhaps you can network and see if you can find a girl(at church) who's the same age as you and hang out.
I know God doesn't want us to be alone on our spiritual walk. However just pray that He sends you someone who is spiritually stronger than you. The last thing you need is someone who's Mormon/Christian by name only.

Good question! I think the only person who can deepen your rel'ship with God is YOU. As for finding great Christian friends, I suggest you first find a faithful, Bible-believing church, with doctrines solidly rooted in Scripture. Once you've found a good church, you've done the hard part. Get involved in their activities, especially those that are geared toward your age group. God will provide you with friends, and everything else you need, if you seek Him first and foremost.
Blessings to you!

Do you attend a tradition or non-traditional church? I am not sure how old you are but here are some suggestions:
If you are in school - there are ususally groups that meet weekly for middle/high school/college age students.
If you are a young adult - your church may offer a singles group, or ladies Bible study or small group that meets weekly. Or find a place of service in your church - you can usually strike up a friendship with someone you serve alongside with - i.e. greeting, ushering, etc.
Usually that's good place to start! That has worked for me in my life. All the best - and don't forget your best friend! :)

Check out the local youth groups, or find a church you like to go to that preaches the gospel message and get involved in a group there. Find friends in real life, not just friends online. Groups online are great, but there is something lacking in a friendship that is never face to face.
Hope it helps!

Look for great friends alone, and be a great person yourself.
The great friends among your definition of Christians will come to you. In your best friend, presumably, one already has.
(There's something to learn from wonderful people of every religion and denomination and of no denomination, by the way.)
