Tips on finding modern, contemporary bible study/worship groups in my area?

I'm 17 and looking for a bible study or worship group that's modern and contemporary. There's a college in my city (VCU) and i'd love to join a group with students and young adults. I'm sick of the stuffy enviornments and viewpoints of the older churches in my area and really want a place where they discuss and explore religion intellectually and by today's standards.





Any tips on how to find a place like this? I'm nondenominational so that makes it even harder. I don't really know where else to look or who to ask

Don't do it.





Find a good old fashioned church that only teaches the Bible.
Reply:Are you talking about just studying your religion intellectually or all religion? If all, a Bible study won't help you as much as classes or a general religion discussion group will. You can find both on that college campus. If you want to discuss your religion intellectually, again go to the college campus. If it is a public college or private Christian college it will probably have campus ministries for students, and they often have a community outreach program that includes Bible study. Go to the campus and try to contact the ministries, especially the non-denominational ones, and see if you can join one of their Bible studies. (Don't go to Campus Crusade for Christ, they can get a little creepy. lol) They will probably let you, and if not, look for a church with a youth group. They usually have Bible studies too.





Best of luck, and remember that religion is rarely the same when you hear about it outside of church, so to discuss it intellectually and objectively there is no better place than a classroom!
Reply:You won't find the truth by discussing Scripture 'intellectually' and by 'today's standards'. This usually means liberalism.


You need to study the views of people like Martyn Lloyd Jones, John Stott, F.F.Bruce and G.D.Fee.
Reply:Check out a Willow Creek Church in your area. I think you might find exactly what you are looking for. God Bless. I am praying for you.
Reply:Look in the phone book or do a search on the internet under phone books for church's.





Look at colleges that offer the bible study groups.
Reply:I sugest that you make a list of God's requirements for His Chruch.





e.g. one that is Bible based and obeys His Commandments (ALL 10 of them)





And use the ONLY accurate Bible we have.
