Needing church recommendations, Louisville KY area

lily · #1 03-01-2020, 08:20 PM

Hi all, we are fairly new to the Louisville KY area. I am wanting to find an Acts 2:38 church where standards aren't a huge emphasis. With Louisville being a city with many churches, I am hoping for suggestions/recommendations to make the church home search easier.
We checked out a PAW church, it was okay, but still searching. Also, I've already been to Believer's Church, not what I'm looking for.

Thanks so much!

How far are you willing to drive? Besides that any disqualifiers?

I've driven an hour to get to church before

You might try this one.

It is a good church.

I grew up in the same church as the pastor of Believers Church...
One of his brothers was a very close friend.
But, the road they are on does not have a good ending.

Care to explain?

Are they Branhamites?

No. Just a former UPC church that has torn down all of the "legalism" fences. And now on the way to throwing away the doctrine.
As always happens...

Very talented pastor and wife, but they wanted to "reach" more people.
So, the walls of separation were taken down.

It grieves me to think about it.
Lots of good memories around him and his family.

I'm not their judge, that's God's job, but yeah, they've taken it too far for my taste. I have to agree with you on that. I would never say a judgement on them though, because I feel that's a dangerous, presumptious thing to do to God's children. I will just say it wasn't my cup of tea.

Yeah aegsm76, it wasn't my cup of tea. Something just didn't feel right for me personally, but to each their own.

Lots of them out there. Broad is the way. You should have no problem finding a church that fits you and your wants.
