not Q related (sorry lol) but thanks to my life situation (which is admittedly a result of poor decisions on my part) I'm pretty much locked up inside the house. I can't even get my driver's license until at least sometime in june, and until then I have nothing to do, nowhere to go, and I'm bored out of my mind. I'll admit I don't really agree entirely with christian beliefs, but I still want to understand it better and maybe volunteer if possible, but I haven't even set foot in a church in like 15 years now and I have no idea what to expect or even what to do, or even if I should, so if anyone could give me advice or something I'd be most grateful :P

Listen, I never grew up in a religious family, we never went to church. It wasn't until I was going through some major depression and I realized a relationship with God was my only way out. I personally chose to go to a Church and for me it was so helpful. My pastor is based and I have met some very lovely people. I was studying the Bible on my own and now I do both. Knowing God has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. Your relationship is not with a religion or a Church it is with God. If you find a good church it is a wonderful experience.
can you tell me a bit about what your first experience with church was like? can you as some random guy just walk unannounced and be welcomed? I literally know nothing about church because the last time I went to church was when I was so young I didn't even understand what it was.
I was nervous as well because I didn't know much myself. They were very welcoming. I starting going to Church in late January. While, I was reading the Bible on my own, I thought I could use some help. I belong to a group that is a Right to Liberty group and the pastors wife was there. We happened to be talking about how religion has been infiltrated and how people were leaving their church because of the mask mandates. The pastors wife spoke up and said her Church was a good church and no masks. So I started going there about a week or two later. So, this is what I did. I sat in the back of the church and observed. Things are on a tv monitor so you can recite the prayers along with everyone and when we sing its displayed on the monitors. When they say stand I stand, when they say sit I sit. You do get the hang of it. My church is very small and quaint. Work on your relationship with God, talking to him at home, it may feel awkward at first and you may wonder "am I doing this correctly," but that soon goes away. You got this.
thanks for the advice
I hope it helped.
