church for the unchurched
hello folks, preemptive apologies if I'm breaking the rules, because all links on the info page aren't working for me.
I was a deeply ingrained homeschooled baptist as a child, spent my late teens and twenties in non-denominational churches before finally leaving the lifestyle at about thirty and I turn forty shortly. I was heavily involved in church activities, in worship teams, holiday plays, small groups, more than I could confidently name. I am having indescribable difficulty existing as a churchless person. I used to have innumerable peers participating in the same groupthink, but no longer. I once had a safe weekly outlet for my musicality, nope.
so, dare I ask, what is the church for the unchurched? what can I possibly dedicate myself to that gives even the slightest hint of the unflinching affirmation I found from religion? is there an atheist/agnostic organization that even comes close?
in short, am I cooked? I've spent ten years out of church life and absolutely cannot find my tribe.
