Why is it important to become involved in a local church?
-
The church is God’s family for believers. It is important to be involved in the affairs of the family for mutual edification, and to bring the message of the gospel to the world.
-
It is important so one can experience fellowship on a personal, more intimate basis. It is easier to relate and be held accountable in a local church than by the church at large. It makes giving and receiving help a practical matter because we can know each other as individuals not just as a large group.
-
Church was important to Jesus and we were not created to be alone. Going to church is more than attending out of obligation but to build community and grow in faith with others towards God and to serve and worship him like Jesus did.
-
Because the church is important to Jesus. Through the church we are able to see the work of the Holy Spirit in the individual and the group. Through the chruch we are able to serve one another and exalt the Father.
-
First it is important because we are told to do so, so obedience. Secondly, we need local believers to hold us accountable, pray with us, fellowship with us and grow together. The local church is also how we give God of our first fruits.
