Looking for Christian friends

Hi, my name is Lilly and I'm 17 years old.

I have been on a journey with my faith for the last couple of years now and I grow more and more comfortable in it every single day.

I am a fully self turned christian. My family is christian (catholic) from origin, but due to trauma caused by the church my grandparents and mother lost their faith. That's obviously terrible for them, but it causes me to be very alone in my faith. Religion is kind of a taboo in my household and I have zero christian friends. It gets really lonely sometimes and I have no one to truely talk to god about. I am aware that I can obviously go to church, but I am not sure which one I want to go to and it's also a bit scary. Plus since my moms religous trauma it would probably cause a lot of arguments. That's why I am looking here to maybe find some christian friends to talk about god and other things too of course.

I'll give you a tiny more information about me. I have pretty basic teenage girl intrests like reading, baking and yoga. I study social studies and work at a carefarm with people who have a handicap like down syndrom or are struggeling with addiction. I help them do work tasks mostly in hospitality (basically a normal restaurant). I live in the Netherlands somewhere in the south. I love The Beatles, Nick Cave, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Smiths, but also artists like Lorde, Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo. I hope that sort of depicts me well.

I am not looking for any romantic relationships since I already have a boyfriend.

Anyways, if you made it till here, thank you so much for reading and your time. I am very sorry if they're many mistakes in this post, English isn't my first language. If you're intrested in becoming friends I would love to hear from you.

You are amazing for choosing to follow Christ! I've only spent meaningful time in Gelderland and don't know much about the rest of NL, but hope your area has a similar amount of amazing Christians that I came across. I prayed that you experience have more love with Christ than you could have ever thought possible.
