To interact with fellow believers, while maintaining humility to our sovereign God.

It should keep you humble in your actions and growing in proper doctrine.

Participating in a community church carries substantial importance for multiple reasons:
God’s Mission: The local church plays a crucial role in God’s mission on Earth. God want to reveal Himself by means of these communities. The influence of local churches in propagating the gospel much surpasses the effectiveness of evangelism tactics and ministries.
The church serves as a distinct platform to display God’s splendour. It is constructed by Jesus, for Jesus, and based on Jesus. The church serves as a foundation for the gospel, showcasing and promoting it to the world, much like a clasp secures and exhibits a valuable diamond.
Spiritual development: The local church serves as a nurturing environment for believers to cultivate their faith. It is the place where we acquire knowledge of principles, accept criticism, and develop moral excellence. In the absence of a nearby church, there may be enduring deficiencies in understanding of biblical teachings and adherence to Christian principles.
Submission to spiritual authority occurs specifically within the context of the local church. It is a location where we acquire the qualities of modesty, responsibility, and compliance. This is particularly vital in a society that frequently grapples with matters of power and control.
Participating actively in your local church offers the essential elements of instruction, responsibility, and motivation needed to remain steadfast in your beliefs. -
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.
