Lessons From Church Hopping

What I learned from (unintentionally) changing churches often.

In my 27 years, I’ve been a regular attendee of at least 13 different churches.

I’ve been an unintentional church hopper. Rarely has it been my decision to leave a church, rather it has been dictated by moves. Growing up, my father’s job meant we moved cities, and thus churches, often—before graduating from college, I had lived in nine houses. When I later married a career-minded Air Force officer, I ensured that moving would be part of my future for years to come.
