What do you do when a Local neighborhood Church doesn’t get back to you?

Why don't you just go to one of their services?
Courtesy & respect… yea I value those trait’s… I was raised with them. I also know that this particular church is in flux. The pastor they had for the last few years, one that they hand selected from the Al Moler School of divinity in Kentucky, didn’t work out for them. Subsequently he left in 2025 and the flock has scattered. They have been left to pick up the pieces because other local churches have replaced them… churches that personally are the modern type that I abhor. I’d prefer something that’s very biblical, without the stage presence & the smoke and mirrors… something like this

Sounds like there is no leadership.
Are you interested in becoming a member and have a leadership position of that church?

I don't know anything about NJ churches but I know someone who does.

Dr. Shelton Smith is the editor of the Sword of the Lord and you will get a response from him about Bible believing churches in your area.

He's in Murfreesboro TN. and has contacts all over the world.

He would be doing just KJVO churches though, correct?

It's funny about the KJVO thing. I've never heard it from the pulpit in my Church, not one time.

Even though my pastor is a KJVO believer, he leaves that to personal conviction.

Twice a month the men in our Church meet to discuss anything concerning the Scripture, if you have a question this is the time to ask.

There are pastors is these meetings from other IFB churches with many years of experience, some with doctorate degrees in theology. I do a lot of listening and not much talking, unless I'm called on.

One of the new members from another Church asked his pastor why did he use only the KJV. I just sit there and listened to what seemed to be the exact same story of my life with the KJV,

He said his parents used the KJV Bible, and their parents before them and their parents before them, etc.

He went on to say he learned the KJV from a child, no other version can compare to it, no other version sounds like the Word of God to him.

He gave some examples of the difference in the versions, off the top of his head he recited these other versions and then the KJV. He went into the background of the KJV and I'm sure it's nothing that you haven't heard before.

Then I thought, I'm not the only one who tells this story. I'm not the only one who considers the KJV to be the only version for me.

You talking about Southern? Never heard it call Al Mohler school of divinity before.
As to the church in question, I wouldn't beg them to contact me. Shake the dust off

Yea,,, graduating from Southern / The A. Mohler Divinity School was supposed to be the key to success… only it wasn’t. They couldn’t have cared less in the east with all the Karen’s sitting in the pews. Nor did the preaching, the Bible studies etc. They wanted more musical performances, blue smoke on stage and someone to kiss their fat arses with complements… and he couldn’t take it & beelined it to Oklahoma, proving once again that the south don’t work in Yankee world. Funny stuff.

That would be wisdom, as he can hold to kjvo , but should npot hold that standard for all of us also
