I agree with Jesusprincessmt - if you can, try to find a church with a singles group and/or young professionals group. Church can definitely be a lonely place, especially if you are just starting out attending one. Hopefully the believers there are welcoming, but effort has to be made on both sides for friendships to develop. Maybe try talking to one of the pastors, or call the office to see if they have a singles group or some sort of home group/study group?

I didn't necessarily feel like going to church this morning, but I went and God definitely spoke to me, and I ended up seeing a friend there and sitting with her! It got me out of my comfort zone and it was a powerful sermon on fearing God.

Hope you find a local church you can call home!
