<p>For my freshman year, I "church hopped" every sunday and just went to whatever church different friends were going to. However, this year I really want to settle somewhere and get involved in one church instead of being everywhere.</p>
<p>So my question is, how do I know what church that is? I have several churches that I've loved and can't choose between.</p>
<p>Wherever you feel the most comfortable. </p>
<p>You said that you have found several churches that you love…so, what do you love about each place? They are certainly all different in some ways, but have similar qualities.</p>
<p>Things you can think about are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Are there other college students there?</li>
<li>Do they have a group for college students?</li>
<li>What kinds of things does the church do? (Volunteer, food pantry, etc.)</li>
<li>How close is it to your school?</li>
<li>How well do you get along with the priest/pastor/reverend? </li>
<li>Do you feel like your voice will be heard?</li>
</ul>
<p>I got it easy. I love Mass in the chapel at my school and I have gotten very involved with Campus Ministry…but definitely think about the questions that I posed, and that should help!</p>
<p>I’d bet the campus minister/priest/whatever could provide some background on the strengths and weaknesses of the off campus choices you have</p>
<p>Are you at Clemson? If so you must check out Newspring Community Church in Anderson. We were members there for many years before we had to move to Minnesota.</p>
<p>I went to Newspring a few times but it’s just too far away for me. I don’t have a car and I feel bad getting people to drive me there every Sunday. Plus, I probably won’t be able to do anything at the church like volunteer at Fuse outside of Sunday because I’m car-less haha</p>
<p>Here’s a helpful resource on the topic: [How</a> to Select a Church - Office of the Campus Pastors - Azusa Pacific University](<a href=“http://www.apu.edu/campuspastors/churches/select/]How”>http://www.apu.edu/campuspastors/churches/select/)</p>
<p>Do you belong to any denomination? One would think first off, find a church nearby in your denomination then find out if they have transportation available for college students.</p>
