I had no formal denomination growing up, if you pressed me I would've said Presbyterian or Lutheran depending on the day but I didn't really care. My parents were not and still aren't fans of organized religion, my grandparents were but they lived three hours away.

In College, left to my own devices, I ended up in an evangelical Christian campus group and that is where I really found God and learned how to actually apply scripture to my life. I didn't agree with every stance they took but I had great friendships, learned how to have a real relationship with God, and developed a mature purpose in this world.

Coming out of College, I wanted something like that group but with less YEC sh**t, speakers that weren't all white men, and perhaps less Trump loyalty. After a bit of trial and error, I settled on Assemblies of God and never looked back. I love how engaging the worship is and I feel it, as close as possible, represents where I am on the religious ideology scale. Once I was settled on this choice, I got Water and Spirit baptized to lock it in.
