What's your Denomination? Sound off!

Yeah my church is closely aligned to the Landmark Missionary Baptist teachings also. 'Independent Missionary Baptist'.. but isn't a denominaton in the sense that there is no 'mother church'.

Seperate, independent, missionary baptist churches with the same teaching.. not one big organisation.

Eg. Catholic.. one universal denom
Presbyterian one universal denom
Methodist one universal denom
Lutheran ditto
Southern Baptist ditto

etc

Independent baptist? No universal org.. seperate independent churches with the same teaching.

When you were 16? That's back when Katz Drug Store was still around. It later became Skaggs, then Osco, now CVS.

I remember them, but I would like to see more of these open back up;

The Katz I remember was south on Raytown Rd, near Bannister, on the West side of the street. (I think.... )

I grew up in the Orthodox Church. It wasn't a good fit for me. Now I'm trying to find a new home church since moving.

The Katz I remember was on Independence Ave in the Northeast area of Kansas City, really close to Sheffield Assembly of God church.

First off, I'm a Christian. More specifically, I'm a Luthercostal.

I agree, the name is irrelevant, what is taught and practiced is what is important.
I am a Landmark Baptist, BUT there are some that wear the name Baptist, Landmark Baptist, and Missionary Baptist that I will never set foot in again. They wear the name, but do not teach the truth.
I guess that is one problem with all Baptist, you never really know what they believe or teach or practice unless you check each one out. There is no headquarters that sets the agenda. Each congregation is independant to go there on way.
True Landmark Baptist, those who teach what Jesus taught, are hard to find in these last days.

I'm a Methodist but so long the church's doctrine and focus is on God, I'm there! At the end of the day, God does not judge us based on our denomination but who we truly are, internally, not what we show others who we are. God sees the inside, not the external.

You would not want to live on the Paseo now. That neighborhood has drastically changed since then! Raytown has gone down hill as well. My wife and I once stayed in Clearwater FL and we drove down to St Petersburg and went on a snorkeling tour there. I remember eating at Guppy's restaurant on the way. We have been all over Florida and really like it there!

Ok so my denomination history is a bit unique. My mother was Jehovah's Witness, my father was Lutheran, they eventually divorced, my mother got custody of me so I grew up being raised in her religion yikes.....
At the age of 17/18 I started questioning my mother's religion because I didn't agree with the majority of their teaching, and eventually finally left it, which in turn caused that entire side of my family to "shun" me--pretty much for the last decade or so they have no dealings with me, they don't even call to check on me, it is crazy. Anyways I spent the 10 or so years after I left that denomination (I apologize, but I don't think it should even be catorgorized as a denomination and really should be called a cult) without a denomination at all. I was kind of in drifting mode. I studied all sorts of religions but still never found my niche. So instead I started just reading the bible (KJV) and studying it myself with no church involved. As time went on and events in my life happened, I longed to get closer to God, I decided that the fellowship of other Christians is very important, and strengthening to my faith, so my husband and I started going to a non-denomination--Church of God--Church. We are currently looking at different churches, as we have recently moved and our old church is pretty far away now.
To sum it all up: I would have to say I do not have a denomination as of right now, although I really enjoyed the Church of God church I went to. Their teachings and beliefs fall in line with what I agree with for the most part.
All in all I feel there really is no set denomination for me which I guess is why I have stuck to the non-denomination type.
How is that for a story?

My Dad lived in Kansas City, MO for about 15 years, then he moved to the Lake of the Ozarks about four years ago! Small world

I was thinking Kansas City...

And Galahad is a bit behind the curve, it seems. It's okay brother! Hang in there -- we'll get you straightened out!

Lol!
