"What Drew You To the Church?"

 Michael, 53 years old

I knew in my heart that this was the place.  I was getting help from what I heard.

 Lily, 52 years old

Our children went to the same school as some children from a family in the church.  I noticed a purity in these children.  They were “in the world” but not “of the world.”  I wanted the same life as this family; I wanted to be able to bring up my children in that way.

 Ernest, 55 years old

I was in need over my own sin and looking for help.  I heard the teaching of “Christ manifest in the flesh” and saw that this was the way to become free from sin.  I could see the life people were living and that the doctrine led to a life of godliness. 

 Cheryl, 53 years old

My first impression was that of fellowship and warmth.  I got “heart to heart contact” with the people there, and not just with people my own age (I was 19 years old) but with people much older than me.  I then decided to stay because the literature I read gave me help for my life. 

 Andrew, 43 years old

It was a progression of things.  I was looking for something more, and in the church, I found a life I could never have imagined.
