The life and struggles of a growing Christian- Day Seventy Three

I have been tossing around the idea of leaving the church that I attend. Not because I am having any problems there or anything, but because I don't feel that God's purpose is being fully served there. Our pastor is a wonderful man who has been preaching for forty eight years, and our congregation is comprised of mainly senior citizens. My son, who is three, is one of the only children who attend, and (I feel) is seen as a nuisance. I'm not saying this to be in any way malicious, I'm saying it out of truth. Our congregation is older and don't want to be bothered by a loud, nonstop three year old; I can understand that. I'm also kind of bothered that all but ten percent of our tithe goes to paying church bills and mortgage. Again, I understand, bills and mortgage need to be paid or you lose the power and the building. But the early church didn't pay mortgages and bills. They met in people's homes, in small dedicated groups. They didn't have any "overhead", they just had a desire to serve Jesus. Any money that was collected went to the poor; the widows and orphans; just like it was supposed to. I want to be a part of that! I want to go totally against the grain of the established church and get back to the roots. I want to serve Jesus in more than just what I say!
