I am a single Dad raising two young boys on my own. I have also been a member of a very "Seeker Sensitive" SBC in the recent past. I'd like some advice from some of you more experienced guys and gals. Right now I have two choices: (1) Take my boys to a Seeker Sensitive Southern Baptist Church with a "Calvinistic" Pastor. This church has lots of kids around the age of my boys with many activities for them to participate in. They really don't want to go there but they prefer the church that I'm referring to as choice number (2) a small PCA church (which holds to my present beliefs) which has no young people (except my kids and some we bring with us) but has a pastor, board of elders and the elder's wives who are excited about having young people visit and have promised to catechize my boys if I will bring them there. My personal conviction is to have my boys catechized and brought up in the truth of the Lord in a Reformed PCA church. Some people who care deeply about my boys and myself think that the boys belong in a church where they can fellowship with children their age. So ... what do you guys think about my situation?
