This is in response to my previous thread 'Deciding on a church."
I am moving to California at the end of April and am looking for a church with great teaching and would love input from others on this site. It's probably easiest to show what I am not looking for first so here it goes:
I am not looking for churches where the teaching can be paralleled with Greg Laurie, Judah Smith, or where at some point in the service a church leader comes out and says something along the lines of "Hey what's up guys?! Sooo awesome that you are here today it's going to be a Super fun service and if you haven't yet be sure to check out my new book in the store just passed the latte machine. Oh, and we're gonna talking about Jesus too!"
I am looking for teaching that is more in line with John Piper, Paul Washer, and David Platt where there is some real conviction.
I will be moving to southern California in Riverside county (east of LA/OC, north of SD). For fun I welcome all responses to churches in California with awesome teaching because I will have a chance to move again in about 2 years.
Thank you in advance, and happy Easter! Thank you Lord!!
