We looked earlier at the history of denominations. Fact: they exist and they aren’t all about to merge. Which one should you choose? It doesn’t really matter.

Churches can be quiet or noisy, traditional or modern, focused on preaching or sacraments, small or large, with music led by organ or rock band, etc. You will doubtless gravitate to the style that suits you best but this shouldn’t be like a ‘shopping decision’. The point is: a good church can take any of these forms.
