What has been your past experience in local church attendance? Explain the positive and the negative.
-
I have attended the same church for over 20 years and I worked there for 12. Consistent church attendance was really good for my family and our church became family as well. The negatives were occasionally feeling like we “had” to be there because of my job and it was very difficult sometimes to ever not go. I do not believe that this aspect is healthy and there are times when all families need a morning at home
-
Initially if you just attend church everything will go negatively if we are just passive attenders. But when we are active, we minister and fellowship with each other then church becomes exciting. Connecting with believers is a wonderful adventure.
-
The positive has been fellowship and community with other believers, encouraging each other to grow. The negative has been that too often we just check off the church box and it has our time to “fill up” for the week and it becomes our only time of growth and learning.
-
I’ve been a part of a local church my whole life. I have realized over the years that these are the people that will be part of the good and bad in my life. I learn with them and serve with them. It is not always easy because we are made up of sinners but it is important to staying connected to God and grow in my spiritual walk.
-
I’ve been faithfully plugged into the same church since I got saved, because that is where the LORD planted me. The strong community and fellowship has been a massive part of my growth in Christ, and I am so grateful for those who’ve discipled me.
