I grew up within the church but on the edge as my family rarely attended more than a few times a year. I can’t identify any time when I’d say that I wasn’t a Christian but my level of commitment grew over time. Pretty much I was baptized as an infant, never attended Sunday school but I was sent to a week of vacation Bible school each summer as well as confirmation class when I came to age. After that I read through the entire Bible when I was in high school. When I started college things speed up as it was the first time in my life that I attended church weekly and I became involved in an on campus Christian group, which increased my passion for God and led me to enroll in seminary upon graduation.
