When to Leave a Church

Each week, we discover resources that can help church searchers and church leaders find common ground between being a good church and a good church choice. Sometimes, we highlight these resources in our Thursday blogs, but once a week doesn’t keep up with all the resources that we could share. So we’ve decided to make Tuesdays our “Share Day.” Each Tuesday we’ll share one or two additional resources on issues and problems church searchers and church leaders face in connecting with each other in spiritually healthy and meaningful ways. 

When to Leave a Church

Before you officially join the church you believe is the right choice for you, consider the advice of Dr. James Emery White, Senior Pastor at Mecklenburg Community Church in Charlotte, NC, in his recent blog, When to Leave a Church. 

Dr. White challenges church searchers to know where a church is headed before they decide to go with them. Read his full blog here: http://www.churchandculture.org/blog.asp?id=5137.

Then, visit The Church Guide Website (http://www.thechurchguide.net/) for two easy to use Search Tools, Healthy Choice Checklists #3 and #4, to help you determine your compatibility with a church’s destination.
