Born and brought up in Baptist Church where they helped in shapenng my Spiritual life not to talk of the daily Bible readings and Popsy always ready with a fan belt to whip you in line in case you "mis read" any part of the Bible. Attended Anglican Church a while and then the African Church, after which I went to CAC and then back to Baptist Church.
All of them have contributed in one way or the other to my Spiritual life. Above all, The Heavenly Kingdom is the main goal, I pray we all get there.

Born into a Baptist church.. the teachings are wonderful!

From childhood to adulthood to old age

From Sunbeam (children church) to Girls Auxiliary to Lydia Auxiliary (for girls/ladies), Royal Ambassadors (For boys) to Women Missionary or Men Missionary.

Whao!!.. The teachings from each stages are inspiring and uplifting!

Talk more of Sunday School classes, Discipleship classes, and lots more!

These teachings help us to grow in Christ as children and help us to remain in Christ as adults!

Thank God I'm a Baptist

Was born and brought up a Catholic and I am and will continue to be a Catholic.... Am loving it, especially when ppl appreciate my core values. The secret is my upbringing.

I attended deeper life Christian ministry and it helped a lot in moulding me spiritually. If not for that, I'm sure I would have probably lost faith in Christianity cos what I saw later, was enough to quit church.

Deeperlife. it helped me greatly. I understand salvation, santification(Which most churches do not talk about). It very easy for me to discern when a pastor is not preaching. I left after childhood and I know I may return someday. All these prosperitypreachers could let you forget that JESUS is COMING SOON and lead you to hell. MAy God help us

Holiness unto the Lord is our watch, word and song, Holiness unto the Lord as we are matching along sing it shout it loud and long Holiness unto the Lord now and forever. grin

Born Catholic, still an unwavering Catholic and will die a Catholic. However, just like the Pope, I do respect other Christian denominations and peaceful faiths.

Please I really need your responses on this one.
What church did attend as a child when growing up.How did it impact you?Would you want your child to grow up in that same environment or what would you like to change about the church?
was born nd raised a catholic,have never considered switching my allegiance,infact my family,community is catholic dominated.autonomous as a whole.for the impact.with all due respect with other indomie new generation church,who re hell bent in destroying the catholic church yet promote themselves.i want to tell them that catholic is garri,they don't do advert yet they sell more than indomie.we might nt preach whhat u want to hear,hw a lazy man will pay tithe nd sow seed to get miracle or sudden wealth.where a conman will make their subject worship him more than God,sell some vest to them as protection while he move around with bodyguard.where he makes them believe that amount of seed u sew nd tithe u give determines the amount of miracle thhat comes to u.we in catholic believes that miracle comes as a benefit for those who came to hear his word with faith.in d bible jesus said to his disciples. Who among these people gave d best offering.some said it's d one dat gave d highest amount,but he said no,its d widow,even if she gave dd smallest,she gave d best.

hmmmm. if not for deeper life I wonder how my life would have been now, growing up in children class was the best place to start from ..you learn holiness, discipline, teaching about the cross and eternity .. i later left deeper life, been music lover and a worshiper I look for church that fit that...the truth is all my children must grow up in deeper life... their teaching gives me the moral Christian life I'm living now ..but the church is lacking one thing not only deeper life 99% of today church which is (love in the aspect of giving, sharing to those that lack or need help )

The first time my sister took me to Presbyterian church, I was about 8 then. The impression I got was that you have to dress well on Sunday with your best clothes, make offering at church,. I also was of the impression Egypt and Israel were in heaven. Now, I know that isn't true.

Later, I attended Jehovahs witnesses. From drawing on their Awake and Watchtower magazines, the impression there was that Adam and Eve, Moses, David, Solomon, e.t.c were white people and that there were no black people involved in biblical history. Now, I know the opposite is the case.

The only good thing I learned generally was obey the 10 commandments, especially "honor your parents so your days shall be long" which I obeyed growing up.

I was brought up as a jehovah's witness.as a child there were so many thing i did not like about the church,for example their disdain for traditional african cultural practices,discrimination against other churches,segregating their members from mainstream socities and so many other things.However,i always owe them a huge appreciation for instilling in me self-discipline and control as well shaping and expanding my intellectual capacities, which put me above my peers then through constant reading of their magazines like AWAKE and WATCHTOWER.This early exposure made me to gain a rare insight about the complexities of socio-political,economic and religious at a global level which seem to marvel most adult of whom i came in contact with.i can rember my school days when we re having lecture on philosophical anthropology about the origin of man,and the lecture asked if anyone had an idea about what evolution meant,mehn,i stood up and mesmerised both my course mates and the lecturer with a vivid answer even quoting Charles Darwin.afterwards my lecturer asked me if i had been studying the course on my own and i said no, that i gain my knowledge by reading jehovah's witnesses publication titled:Life how did it get here-by evolution or by creation?jehovah's witness is what made me to think deeper about life, even though i'm an atheist now.

Growing up I attended Qua Iboe( now united evangelical ) church orile, but the distance was far from our house at Festac. So whenever we could not go there with our parents, we went to Presbyterian church around the corner.
Qua Iboe impacted on me Cox since it was not a regular thing it made me look towards going to church, as that was also an avenue to meet my grand parents who resided at ketu. The service then was fun because of the memory verses we crammed to show off at home, and any time there was a function, intelligent kids were given the opportunity to show case their scriptural brilliance.

The Presbyterian also helped me because we wrote monthly Sunday school exams and nobody wanted to be seen as a failure, also that was the first church I witnessed people being excommunicated (the good old days of christiandom) due to bad behavior, while in Qua Iboe if you came late during prayer or sermon, irrespective of who you were you most stay outside, till something less spiritual starts.

I later went to a boarding house where I was baptized in the Catholic church, I didn't really learn much, but that was one of the most dedicated part of my Christian life, the reverend fathers and sisters were wow and out of this world and really helped me I guidance, I might have been a lost soul if not for them, I am forever grateful to the catholic church for the guidance of my life at a crucial stage of growing up.
After school I worked for the synagogue church of all nations and that was where I learnt Life, Prophet T.B Joshua remains an inspiration till today. I learnt life and Christianity from another angle, unfortunately that was the last church I took seriously.

I have since become a non denominational Christian, as I believe Christ is about love and keeping the commandment, I don't want to be associated with any particular church, I want to be associated with Christ like characters, coupled with the fact that I can't stand Hypocrisy and the church this days are filled with hypocrites.

That being said 80% of my Christian spiritual knowledge, is from the teaching of a Korean, his analysis opened my eyes to a different way of seeing the Bible and understanding creation, he made me meditate more, he made me understand that works is equally as important as faith.

But more importantly he made me understand why most people will constantly be misled, because they see omniscience in a different light.
Name of the Korean pls

Have never really liked going to church cry
I noticed that back then I liked it when everybody just stayed at home on a sunday.

Back then we attended a Pentecostal Church, Living Water Ministries at Iba.

Then we moved to another neighbourhood and the distance be came too far, so we changed to Watchman, never liked there for one day.

Later on, I started attending Assemblies of God on an OFF and ON basis.

On getting into the University, I stopped entirely, was in church only 2 times throughout my years in the University based on invitation.

And now, I dont attend any! Guess I have never liked going to church, and also dont let what anybody preaches disturb me.

R.C.M.(Roman CATHOLIC Mission School) Ebako Ihima. because we were always in white uniform, I learnt over the years to always keep my clothes clean and by implications, it helps me to live a matured life style. those days, I treasure my clean white shirt so much that I don't like to fight when I had my uniform on and this gradually became part of me whether I was in my uniform or my other clothes.

This kind of topics bring disunity and segregation among Christians. We get to see people claiming that their church teaches this unlike other etc


Now get it, the best training starts from home. Give your kids the best training, teach them about good and bad.

Look for a church your spirit accepts, a church you are fine with their teachings and also have a good school school classes for kids. There's no point coming online to ask these questions, you will only get confused.
