Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

1 Corinthians 12:27 (NIV)

There are few things the Lord cares about like people and His Church. He cared so much about people that He gave His only Son (John 3:16) and He cares so much for the church that He has personally guaranteed that even the gates of Hell (Matthew 16:18) will have no power against it.

Similarly, there are few things that please the Lord like the involvement of His people in the Church. Christians were not made to be Lone Rangers. We need one another and He established local churches for our benefit and for His glory.

One of the biggest blessings in being one of God’s children is that we get to be part of His family. Every believer needs to be connected to his or her brothers and sisters in Christ. It is awfully discouraging to do the Christian life all alone. The local church is a key component of how God has decided to accomplish His work on this earth. It is a place where Christians can grow, be encouraged, worship, serve, and reach out to a needy world.

You obviously know the value of being part of a church family. As you look for a church, find one that believes right and acts right. The way you can tell is by comparing what they teach and how they live with the Bible (Acts 17:11). Look for a church that teaches and lives out the Scriptures. Do they preach salvation through Jesus Christ alone, or is it a mixed message that includes salvation through good works and our own merit? Then, though no church or Christian is perfect, do the people lead godly lives that are under the authority of the Word of God?

Also, if possible, try to find a church close to where you live. A good local church will help simplify your life, strengthen your family, and increase your outreach ministry to others in your community. In the New Testament, the only distinction among local churches appeared to be geographical. Give first preference to the Gospel preaching churches near your home.

If you are local and looking for a church home, I invite you to join us one Sunday morning for worship at either 8:20 or 10:45. One the services are similar, and while the preaching in both services is biblical exposition, the first service includes more traditional music and elements of worship while the 10:45 service leans toward a more contemporary worship and praise music.

If you are a committed believer in Jesus Christ, we invite you to join in, to serve, and to be served. If you are not convinced that Christ is the true way, then we want to serve you. Feel free to contact us or just show up for one of our services. You will be our special guest and we would love the opportunity to introduce you to our loving Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
