May I add a note of caution, in all kindness. This may not be your case, but just a warning. I, and many others, were proud to say these very things at one time. Boy, what lessons in humility I have learned! What really ugly, destructive things were going on in MY "Church" that didn't take a name!
I am so much happier now in a church with a name, though not denominated. A place where I find life and am constantly encouraged to stay humble in Christ. If you have the "IT" factor in your gathering, you can very easily lose "IT". Then if you lose "IT", but boasted how you have "IT", you may find yourself pretending you still have "IT". This is actually taken from a message from church last week.
Note: "IT", also known as life, peace, spirit, truth, and many other names
so, just sayin' - be careful of pride.
