I finally moved to California for my dream job! As a creative design manager at a five-star hotel, my job is developing advertisements, marketing events tumbshots, writing press releases, and even organizing concerts and parties within the hotel. When I moved I had everything prepared and it was a fairly simple transition. When Sunday came, however, I had  recognized I had to find a church.

My church in my hometown was ideal for me because it was little, close-knit, and many of the fellow worshippers had known me for my  whole life. Since we were so close, I had the ability to take an active role in my church as well. Being in the choir and serving as a teacher's aide in Sunday school was a fantastic experience. I wanted to continue having an active role in a church however wasn't sure how to take the first step.

I wanted to find a church that provided a similar community and opportunities. Moreover, I wished to be in a church with a similar  objective as the one in my  home town. There, we were concentrated on missionary work and being a  great Christian Monday through Saturday, not just on Sundays. I knew there were lots of Baptist churches, San Jose Baptist among them, that shared my beliefs. However I wished to make sure it was the right fit for me.

One day at my job, I was chatting with a  colleague and she told me about her church. It was an independent Baptist church. San Jose was where it was located, and they concentrated on missionary and evangelical work. I was thrilled to learn it was not far from home and I could actually participate in organizing trips and Bible camps for kids. I decided I would attend the following Sunday and see if it was for me.

On that Sunday, I drove there with my colleague. She explained that the pastor focuses on expository preaching. San Jose was not a place I anticipated to have a large population of Baptists  however I was thoroughly  amazed by the amount of followers at this church. There were at least 300 worshippers attending that Sunday. It was nice to see there were others with similar ideas and beliefs.

Eventually it was time for us to take our seats. I sat with my friend, and before I knew it, I fell in love with what the pastor had to say. He talked about how we should always try our best to be the church instead of simply going to it. By motivating followers to take an active role in church, he said, the church will become a stronger, more  valuable part of the  neighborhood. When it was over, I walked up to thank the pastor and decided to join.

Now that I have joined I handle and  arrange all of our  goal  journeys. So far I have prepared a  journey for Haiti and the Philippines this summer. I have also had the ability to help our Sunday school  instructor organize a summer Bible camp. Hopefully my experience will influence others to find the right church and become more knowledgeable about their faith.
