email this story print this story jump to comments

I've read in the news that since your recent move your family has been looking for a church home.

A lot of people in Charlotte can relate: This city of churches attracts thousands of newcomers every year. The first question many of them get is: “Have you found a church yet?”

Given our experience with church-shoppers, here's some advice from pastors and others on what to consider in your spiritual search:

– Rev. Clifford Jones Sr., Friendship Missionary Baptist.
