There are many reasons to join the church. Here are a few:
Identity – The church was instituted by Jesus to be his Body here on earth. Membership is a way to identify ourselves publicly as being part of that Body in a particular location.
Belonging – When we join a church, we develop a deeper sense of belonging. It becomes our church, not just a church we are visiting or attending.
Effectiveness – We can accomplish far more ministry together than we can alone—and it will be a far more effective ministry, because we’ll be using all of the various gifts in the Body.
