The other day I saw some people that had a shit-poo. Yes, that’s actually the name of a cross breed of dog (shitzu and poodle) -so I’m not cursing. This got me thinking that most of us are denominational mutts when it comes to churches. Most people church shop with no real clue what each denomination means they just go because one serves them better than the other. It’s like choosing between McDonalds or KFC.   

So my question is what kind of church mutt are you?

I’m a method-matic-southern-non-square-ptist.

I was sprinkled into the Methodist church, then my mom went spiritual and dragged me to a charismatic church. Then for most of my life I was raised southern baptist. I worked for a non-denominational church, then a non practicing foursquare. Now I work for a para-church and attend a conservative baptist northwest church.

So what are you?

  1. i’m whatever happens when you mix these up:

    disciples of christ (dad)
    methodist (mom)
    baptist (now)
    episcopal (high school)
    presbyterian (a lot of friends)
    anglican (heavily influenced by nt wright and cs lewis)

    ooh ooh, the disciples of christ prefer to be called “the christian church.” i’ll take a page from their book. just call me christian.

  2. para-church, prez, sbc’er

  3. Cumberland Presbyterian, Non-denominational, Methodist, Presbyterian USA, Episcopal, Church of Scotland = Mere Christian

    I saw the most interesting church in south Alabama, it was a Pentecostal Mennonite church, would love to have visited.

  4. If I went by my upbringing and past church attendance, I’d be a “pagan, New Age, Catholic, Disciples of Christ, Word of Faith, Foursquare, Independent, Calvary Chapel, Baptist.”

    But now that I’m old enough to know what all of that means (lol), I’d probably call myself a Charismatic Reformed Conservative Baptist. How’s that for a mutt? And I can’t find a church that fits my beliefs to save my life, but we now attend a Conservative Baptist church. :-)

  5. I’m a Charismatic Reformed Conservative Baptist, too (Debi’s my mom). Or in other words, I’m a denominational mutt. :-)
