Did you know you could be a Christian without going to church?... but not for very long! You'll very quickly wither and die spiritually.
Church is a place where we support and encourage one another in our faith in Christ. It is also God's preferred way of building us up and conforming us to the image of His Son.
So, unless you are reading this in solitary confinement somewhere (how come you're on the internet?!!), please come to church.
We'll love to see you.
At 'The House' we encourage membership because God did not design us to be floating believers. Membership calls us to be a vital organ in a living body.
A member is someone who has made a practical committment to the God given purposes of the church. Members agree to pray for the church, attend regularly, give generously, discover their ministry gifts, take part in decision making etc. Without church membership it's very difficult to grow as a Christian.
We are called both to believe and belong.
Romans 12:10 - Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
