I am a new Christian, living in Austin, TX. I have been single for years and am feeling very lonely. I am getting older (even though I don’t feel and look like it), I am too shy and English is not my native language so I am hesitant to attend small groups for singles at churches.. Can anyone suggest me what/where I should try to find Christian friends (both males & females)? Thank you and Blessings.
I also attend The Austin Stone Community Church In the evenings. This one seems to be a lot of younger people, the majority probably younger than me. (This might just be the evening service) They author their own music, and it can be more like a concert, which admittedly isn't for everyone. You can hear some of their music here: https://soundcloud.com/theaustinstone
I also attended The Well | Church in Austin, TX for a while. I quite liked the messages, and the music, but I didn't seem to be able to get involved in a smallgroup, and then I moved apartments, which is when I started attending the Austin Oaks.
If you have a facebook account(I'm not fond of facebook) there are groups on there you could join, and they will post activities and other things that are going on. One example: Austin Christian Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/1659478990933629/
Also, I tried out the Gateway Community church, and went there for a little while. I eventually left, when they started playing secular music on stage during the service. That didn't sit well with me. There were also a couple of things the pastor said while preaching that I didn't believe agreed with what the Bible had to say. This lead to me leaving, and seeking another church. *shrugs*
