I posted this on the religion board, too. I am interested in joining a church. I consider myself a protestant. I am a single guy in my 20's, no kids. I live near Washington Avenue inside the loop. I know there are a lot of churches around here, especially in the Heights, but I don't know much about them.
When I was a kid, I grew up in a protestant family, but we never went to church. I went to a Presbyterian church in high school because one of my friends' dad was the pastor. I liked the experience because it was a traditional service but still a relaxed environment. In college I went to a lot of services designed for college students, and I felt like it was a little too "hip" for church. Nothing wrong with that kind of thing, just not what I'm really looking for. I am not opposed to exploring other denominations like Methodists, Baptists, Lutherans, etc. I am just looking for a good place to worship where I can hopefully meet some people my age at the same time.
