I'm looking for a church home. I'm Polish Catholic (which is very different from American Catholic)

in general I'm looking for a non-denominational church, with a mixed congregation.

Eventually I want to be a part of the church as an associate pastor.

I'm a writer and I've been told my work (writing essays on Christian teaching) is quite good.

Though I'm having a hard time finding a church with my requirements, over the internet.

Can anyone help out?

If you're Polish Catholic, why would you want to go to a non-denominational church? Non-denominational don't believe in sacraments, so you will have a conflict with your beliefs by attending such a church.

You could start by telling us what country you live in?

When you say you can't find something over the internet are you saying you can't find a church that live streams, or you can't find a church near you that has an internet presence?

Unless it's the only workable option I really don't like the idea of live streaming church services. If you physically can't get to church or you want to see a quick insight into what the church is about before attending it's all well and good but using a live stream as your regular church can so easily turn it into little more than another consumer product.

Curious, why are you looking for a non denominational Church home? Is there something you personally find lacking or unfulfilled in the Polish Catholic Church or are you wanting to see what other Christian beliefs are and what they could mean or add to you?

Or something else entirely?

Aside, who do you intend your writing for, Christian, Secular, or other beliefs than Christian?

Non denominational churches have more in common with the Polish Catholic churches than American Catholic churches.

Good point

America is not Poland. I'm just looking for churches full of the Spirit here in the US.

And I write for all denominations, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and all their sub-denominations. Specifically not Mormon or JW though. I hope I don't offend anyone with that

You do realize that non-denominations don't believe in the Real Presence in the Lord's Supper, right? That's an integral part of worship for Catholic, Lutheran and Orthodox churches.

Your post hit me.

You’re not just looking for a church—you’re looking for home. A place where truth isn't diluted, where the Spirit isn't quenched, and where your calling can be stirred, tested, and refined. That’s not easy to find—especially online. And especially in a time when many churches have swapped holiness for hype and conviction for comfort.

You said you're Polish Catholic, but drawn now to something more non-denominational. That tells me you're seeking something real—something alive. Maybe you've outgrown tradition, not in rebellion, but because you're being called deeper into truth.

Let me say this clearly: God has not forgotten you.
That desire to write, to preach, to serve as an associate pastor? That’s not just ambition. That sounds like a fire God Himself lit in your bones.

> “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.”
—Isaiah 30:21



My advice? Don’t chase a perfect church. Chase God’s presence.
Wherever that’s honored—where the Word is preached without compromise, where the Spirit is welcome, and where the broken are not entertained but transformed—that’s home.

You may not find it by browsing websites. You might need to walk into some buildings, sit through some awkward services, and wait on the Holy Spirit to say, “Here.”

And if you’re called to ministry—prepare in the wilderness first. That’s where prophets are shaped. That’s where God burns away self and stirs up purity.

Keep writing. Keep praying. Stay obedient.
The door will open when the time is right—and not before.

> “Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.”
—Habakkuk 2:3



If you want to talk more about calling, spiritual hunger, or what to look for in a church that actually walks in power and truth, feel free to message me.

You're not alone.
The remnant is rising.

Every time that I have found a church to call my church, it was by accident. I was sent to a churh to repair something, so naturally after I was done and was on my way out, I poked my head into the sanctuary and it beckoned in me in. So I went in and as I came into the room...the Holy Spirit was everywhere, strong presence. Yep, this is my church! I was back for the service next Sunday.

I've worked in a lot of churches actually, over the years. That's cool. Sometimes I have invited Jesus to go with me. Now, no way is Jesus my "helper" lol. He is the Lead man and I am the helper! Right? So Jesus was lead tech on the job, and He was also the owner of the house and He was the Customer!

One time, (LOL!) I was on call on the weekend, and I got called out to a church on Sunday, something about a drain problem? I show up, the Service is over already and as it turns out, that service was supposed to be a Baptismal Service! But they had to cancel the Baptisms part of it, because, the Baptismal tank would not hold water. They filled up the tank and everybody went to put on their robes and when they came back...no water in the tank! This baptismal tank looked like it was 150 years old. and something in the drain wasn't sealing...or was it? Maybe it was a sign from God?! So I told the man in charge, it's gotta either be the drain assembly or else the hearts of the Congregation! That was so funny!

I'm curious if you found a new church home yet?
