Thanks, Davis, for sharing your story. I believe you have found the key to the Christian life with this statement: I developed a personal relationship with God.
Seeking a "church" or "church-life" may leave you with an organization created by man, thinking they know what "church" is, or what "church" means. It may be good, satisfying, meaningful, (or not). You may grow, learn from the Word, all kinds of good things (or not), but nothing can replace having a personal relationship with God Himself.
Paul said, in Phillipians 3: "That I may know him..." I think this is our greatest need and our salvation. The matter of "church" may "go away" altogether when we know him, trust him and obey him, and trust him to lead us to other believers for fellowship.
Thanks again for sharing.
