Finding a Church – Connecting with Other Believers
Why Finding a Church Matters
Being part of a church community helps you grow in faith, receive support, and serve others. The Bible encourages believers to gather together (Hebrews 10:25) to worship, learn, and build relationships with fellow Christians.

Biblical Teaching – A church should teach the Bible as God’s Word and guide for life.

Christ-Centered Worship – Worship should focus on glorifying God and drawing closer to Him.
-
Community & Fellowship – A welcoming and supportive congregation that encourages spiritual growth.
-
Prayer & Discipleship – A church that encourages prayer and helps members grow in their relationship with Jesus.
-
Opportunities to Serve – Ways to use your gifts to serve others and the community.
