I am an ENFP myself and I like that almost everyone I see at the large church I have been at for 4 years knows my name- young and old. Unfortunately, we have recently had a split in how decisions will be made centering around the young adult group that I've served in. It has been very disappointing to see how things have been handled. I've decided to keep my leadership position for the rest of the year I am signed on for, but attend another church's services. I also needed to move on even before this split happened for more spiritual nourishment and am glad I found another congregation. I am letting myself just go, sit, and leave, (I've gone for two weeks now) but it feels a little weird to me and I did start getting ideas right away for a group I could form, people I could connect, an event I could plan.... :) wow, I can TOTALLY relate about the jumping in and jumping into leadership part.

I need a long break from any kind of church leadership, and starting my own house church -- as tempting an idea as it is -- would be precisely the wrong move at this point! I need to be a <em>sous chef </em>in someone else's kitchen for a while. But in the future, who knows. Dave,

Hah. I need a long break from any kind of church leadership, and starting my own house church — as tempting an idea as it is — would be precisely the wrong move at this point! I need to be a sous chef in someone else’s kitchen for a while.

But in the future, who knows.

Those old churches can be glorious, but they are money pits. I would rather have my money headed towards Darfur than a slate roof. Hugo-

I didn't enjoy church shopping either, when I finally concluded that I was done with Southern Baptists. No wonder Planet Hugo is so fascinatingly wild and strange, to me — I’m an INTJ. :)

Good plan on the leadership too; church work can be a dreadful black hole for Sons of Martha like me; I am doing something similar in my new church. As Churchill pointed out.
