Well, I found a church here in Billings that I'm going to call home. Emmanuel Baptist Church appears to have consistent Biblical teaching, solid doctrinal statements, and plenty of areas to serve. I took the 2 day new members class, and met with the pastor recently to discuss membership. I asked him about some key issues (Lordship Salvation, Church Discipline, Eternal Security) and was encouraged by his responses. He also brought up John Piper as a pastor he enjoys...the first person I've met in Billings who knows who Piper is! Yeah!
The church has to vote me into membership (and I'm assured that no one has ever "not" been approved) so it's not official yet. So, I guess as a member of this church, I'll now also be a member of the Southern Baptists...no southern accent to prove it, but just give me time. ;-)

Congrats on finding a church home!! :)
PS - your niece is absolutely adorable. And those mountains are most definitely majestic!
I'm glad that worked out. I hope we can get some good chatting in over christmas!
Love ya!
Glad to hear you you found a good church. If it helps your conscience, I was a Southern Baptist for a couple years after I left FBC Spokane. And even now, I'm attending Southern Seminary (though I'm joyfully nondenominational once again). :-)
We attend a Southern Baptist church as well! Welcome to the club. :)
