Should I Join A Church?

People often ask, "Should I be expected to join a local church?" Yes. Only in the USA is this question ever raised. Elsewhere, believing in Jesus means belonging to a local church.

Lone-ranger Christians are rare in other countries. America's rampant individualism can cause believers to not admit believing includes belonging. 

Believers best grow in Christ through relationships with other Christians (I TH 5:11). As brothers and sisters in Christ, we need each other, to be connected.

We're a family, and families define themselves in households, small organic units. The local church gives us a place to express this unity.
