Why is Church Attendance Important? Posted by Prayer MInistry from Myspace.com Why Is Church Attendance Important?" Body: Question: "Why is church attendance important?" Answer: The Bible tells us that we need to attend church so we can worship God with other believers and be taught His Word for our spiritual growth (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:25). Church is the place where believers can love one another (1 John 4:12), encourage one another (Hebrews 3:13), “spur” one another (Hebrews 10:24), serve one another (Galatians 5:13), instruct one another (Romans 15:14), honor one another (Romans 12:10), and be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32). When a person trusts Jesus Christ for salvation, he or she is made a member of the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27). For a church body to function properly, all of its "body parts" need to be present (1 Corinthians 12:14-20). Likewise, a believer will never reach full spiritual maturity without the assistance and encouragement of other believers (1 Corinthians 12:21-26). For these reasons, church attendance, participation, and fellowship should be regular aspects of a believer's life. Weekly church attendance is not required for believers, but someone who has trusted Christ should have a desire to worship God, be taught His Word, and fellowship with other believers. |

Excuse me butthe bible does not say we need to attend a church. It says to not forsake the assmebling of believers. Another words stay in fellowship. We are all given the Holy Spirit when we are saved. What is his job? Jesus said to comfort us and teach us all things. He did not say that other people would teach us all things, but rather the Holy Spirit A Few facts here are that for the first 327 years after Christ, there were no Church buildings. People met in homes. There was no main orator either. pastors were not offices, they were a gifting where people in that gift oversaw the group and was a servant in helping to the people. The pastoral position cam later on and was in the form of a priest. Pastoral duties were written by Pope Gregory for the Catholic church and indoctrinated. did you realize the church did not teacxh the false teaching of tithing until 777AD? There is a lot that is assumed today that was never in God's plan for the body of Christ. Instead of fellowships today we have bussinesses.
