A common question when a Christian meets another believer is "where do you go to church?" Often that leads to an understanding of what type of church that is - is it part of an association or denomination, or if independent, what characteristics best define the church (worship style, doctrinal distinctives, etc.). This can be a helpful part of building healthy relationships with other believers - knowing where we have commonalities and where we might have interesting and profitable discussions and debates.
However, when some believers ask me this and hear that the church we attend is a Confessional Reformed Baptist Church, it's not unusual for them to ask, "what does that mean?"
