"First, we have to remember that church isn't a social club, it is a serving club. As a leader, you are there to serve.
However, what you put here has me thinking that your church has some major issues and you are probably…"

When is it time to go?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Cory Zipperle Jan 28, 2011. 15 Replies 0 Likes
Hi, I'm worship leader in our small church of 25. I've been there 6 years and knew for at least the first 4 that it was God's call. I was young (21), the congregation was older but I felt God say to…Continue

Bizzy Bender replied to In Him I Trust's discussion 'When is it time to go?'"I feel for you and can say I've been there done that. I just left the fellowship [I use the term lightly] of a church where I was deeply involved in at least 9 different ministry areas and every single Sunday I would leave feeling like a lonely…"
""...we have this inherent sense of duty to be here but maybe our vision has got to be the driving force that determines the next move."
Remember that the need is not the call; just because a group could really use you does not mean that is…"
In Him I Trust replied to In Him I Trust's discussion 'When is it time to go?'"Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the reply. The word 'frustrating' is pretty much how we feel right now. I think my response to Wulf kind of summed up that our direction and that of the church seems to different so we really need to look at our…"
In Him I Trust replied to In Him I Trust's discussion 'When is it time to go?'"There are other young people but 3 that have recently been saved from really distructive backgrounds so they will take a while to mature and there is a lot of need there. There's also a young single girl but again lots of councelling has been…"

In Him I Trust replied to In Him I Trust's discussion 'When is it time to go?'"Hi Wulf,
Thanks so much for your response. It is a very good question 'would we be open to staying if we did find closer fellowship'. I think we've been questioning our vision as a couple with that of the church. We've only…"
In Him I Trust replied to In Him I Trust's discussion 'When is it time to go?'"Thank you for your response. It's great to know that there are brothers and sisters in Christ that we don't know but who are willing to give us the advise we don't know where to get elsewhere! Thank you, we will continue seeking Him…"
In Him I Trust replied to In Him I Trust's discussion 'When is it time to go?'"Thanks Rick. Some sound advice here.
I guess we’ve felt trapped for a while with this sense of duty, what will they do if we go, because we know how integral we are to how the church is currently running, but you’re right, perhaps we…"
Wulf Forrester-Barker replied to In Him I Trust's discussion 'When is it time to go?'"Yes, don't allow people to treat you like a security blanket. If there are things the church can't do when you go and you are feeling led by God in another direction, then perhaps the church isn't meant to be doing those things any…"
Daniel Read replied to In Him I Trust's discussion 'When is it time to go?'"I think there's a lot of good advice here already.
I think we were in a similar, but not so extreme, position as you a few years ago. For perhaps 10 years or so, my wife and I were "the young couple" in a somewhat larger church than…"
"Great testimony of God's faithfulness, Wulf.
It's not easy, but we as leaders need to be more open about letting God (our true master) move his people around to where they fit best. I've trained many young worship musicians who…"
Wulf Forrester-Barker replied to In Him I Trust's discussion 'When is it time to go?'"Would you be open to staying if you did find closer fellowship? How does where you fellowship (and, indeed, where you live and work) fit with other parts of your vision? Have you got somewhere else in mind?
When I moved on from my previous…"
Lorraine Doswell replied to In Him I Trust's discussion 'When is it time to go?'"Thank you for sharing.
It's always difficult in a situation like this as there are so many aspects to consider. Am I doing the right thing? What if? It goes on and on............what's great is that you are looking at the…"
"These are tough decisions to make, and I know you don't want to make it lightly. Good on you for sounding it out with others first; may you find the wisdom you need.
First of all, wanting to be around others your own age who share common…"
