I've been going to Remnant Westside Church for the past two Sundays. Originally, had been going to Redeemer for awhile, but I felt like it was important to visit other churches before making a decision as to which one I would commit to. The senior pastor at Redeemer is Tim Keller and the teaching seems to be pretty solid. The congregation is diverse both racially and in terms of age. I've also heard that the small groups are the major strong point of the church! I would really like to visit one, however, it's been difficult because almost all of them meet in the middle of the week, which is difficult since Manhattan is about an 1.25hr metro ride from my school.
Remnant Westside has a very predominantly Asian congregation, led by pastor Bruce. Almost everyone there is either in college or graduate school (where I fit right in! =D) I'm really enjoying being able to sing the songs that I have grown up with at my church back home (but of course, it is not about my satisfaction but about my ability to use these songs to praise God!) These smallgroups generally meet on Friday, making it much more realistic for my busy schedule, so I must be diligent in making a visit! I can also see how great it would be to continue fellowshipping within a congregation of brothers and sisters all within my age group.
As of now, I am still much undecided. But, I can't be a 'college kid' forever!
