i tried speaking up about this church a bit before but each time i tell them or oppose them about my opinion on james river, they say that “you not wanting to go means you need god more than ever!”
youth services feel fake. its all fake. i dont feel the church anymore :/ anymore my grandparents church feels more comforting, sometimes id rather not go at all. advice i guess. first time posting here im open to criticism :D
edit: also any good churches in springfield to republic area?

I love The Venues, it's on E Battlefield. They focus a lot on helping the community.
Can't say much on how to tell your parents to change churches... Mine were super stubborn about that stuff and wouldn't allow me to go to a different one on my own until I was no longer a minor. Best advice I can think of would be to say that you feel like you can grow closer to God and become a better person in a different church, that you feel stagnant where you currently are. I don't know how your parents are in regards to your independence...
