BethG Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 My husband's job is highly portable and we've decided to relocate for reasons that are benign/boring/tedious to go into. Thus we're shopping for a good town/location to move to Spring '12. We're seeking: 1. a good reformed baptist church with good preaching 2. a great homeschool community 3. mild/short winters 4. friendly people Any suggestions?

Cricket Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Phoenix! We love our reformed Baptist church (and there are several others in the area), winters are awesome, lots of homeschoolers and we've found the people are pretty friendly (except in the retirement communities :glare:).

Jamauk Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 We *have* a Reformed Baptist Church, but I've never gone, so I can't speak to whether or not it's a great one. But the West Puget Sound area of Seattle fits the bill perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Does it count if the winter is mild in comparison to the winter in the book, "The Long Winter"?:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 If I had that list, I would go to Voddie Baucham's area and church in Spring, TX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottakee Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 How about Holland Michigan? Voted one of the happiest cities around. I know there is a Reformed Bapstist church but have never been there. Lots of homeschoolers and activities. You would be right by the beach and Grand Rapids is only about 45 minutes away with all of the cultural, medical, sports, etc. of a large city. Winters, depends on what you are looking for. We can have snow as early as Oct. (but doesn't last) but some years we get hardly any until Jan. By March it is usually gone. A few storms here and there but nothing really severe---at least for someone who grew up here. Holland has snow melt system on their sidewalks so downtown is free of snow in the winter.

DawnM Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 NC meets all of the above. TONS of homeschoolers here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrresistibleGrace Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Well . . . I don't know yet about the homeschool community (but it's bound to be good!) and it would depend on how you define "mild" winters, but my husband and I are taking steps towards planting a new church (reformed baptist) in the Cincinnati area and we are currently praying that God would raise up a team. How about being part of a new church plant!?!?:D Edited October 4, 2011 by IrresistibleGrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I am unsure about reformed baptist churches but the Denver/Colorado Springs area has mild winters and tons of homeschoolers. SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennsmile Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Memphis, TN. (Bartlett, Millinton, Cordova, Germantown.) No state income tax. Awesome homeschool network. Friendly southern town. Snow is a rarity. There are lots of Baptist Churches and they even have sports teams. I am not sure if they are Reformed but I imagine there is at least one that is...it is the bible belt.

i.love.lucy Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 C'mon to Austin! I love my reformed baptist church and we have a terrific and vibrant home school community. Life is good in Central TX! PM me if you'd like more info or the link to my church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endurancerider Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Willamette Valley, Oregon. Very mild weather. We live outside of Salem, in a little town that has an active homeschool community. There are many churches, and I attend a reformed Baptist church, that has a great Pastor. We're only 45 minutes from the beach, and about an hour+ to the mountains for snow-skiing.
