My husband and I have now been attending a church for over the past 7+ years. We have held many different positions. My husband has become extremely disappointed with many things at the church to the point where he doesn't even want to go back. There are many things that have lead him to this point and I know it hasn't been easy. He still loves God and is willing to go to another church which means that we would be leaving all of our current church positions.

I feel so stuck because I know that I need to support my husband and if I stay at the current church and he leaves then there is the possibility that he would stop attending a church all together were as if I go with him to the new church I can help to encourage him. I know that our marriage without God could never stand, God is the foundation of our lives and it is only because God had to break us down to rebuild our marriage at one point that he is that foundation. I know that the new church would be a great blessing to the lives of my children which is very important.

I feel scared because I know that if the change isn't God's will then it wont work and i don't want to be a family that moves from one church to another. I want what ever takes place to be God's will. I feel guilty for leaving my positions at church but if my husband can't grow spiritually where we are and at times neither can I because I find myself trying to pull him up and my son up and I get pulled down in the process.

Please help me to try to take in an understand where God wants me to go.....

Seven years in one place isn't exactly "church hopping".

Do you think his reasons for disillusionment are valid? If so, it might be time to move elsewhere.

There is more than one place that you can serve God admirably and effectively. It isn't a choice of the one, precise, exact, exclusive place to serve - or - no service at all. You ought to be able to serve and grow in many possible different places.
