Why Church Isn’t Optional: Step Into God’s Plan for Your Life This Year
What if one of the most important steps you take this year isn’t a resolution—but a relationship?
For too many of us, church has become something optional—something we attend when life allows, or worse, something we skip altogether. But God’s Word tells a different story. Church isn’t just a building or a weekly service; it’s a family. It’s His plan for how we grow, thrive, and live out our purpose.
The Missing Piece
If you’ve ever felt stuck, lonely, or spiritually stagnant, ask yourself this: am I living in the community God designed for me? The truth is, when we stay on the sidelines—unconnected to a church family—we’re missing out. We’re missing out on encouragement, accountability, and opportunities to serve others. But it’s not just about what we need—God has a role for each of us in His church. He calls us to be part of the body of Christ, with each person playing an essential part.
“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” – 1 Corinthians 12:27
When we choose not to get involved, we’re not just holding ourselves back; we’re holding back the church. God’s family isn’t complete without you.
No Better Time to Start
The beginning of a new year is the perfect moment to make a change. Don’t wait for the “perfect time” or for your schedule to clear up—start now.
Take a step this Sunday:
- Stay after service and meet someone new.
You were created for this. Living outside of God’s plan will only leave you feeling empty. But when you step into the community He designed, you’ll find encouragement, belonging, and purpose. You’re Invited
This year, don’t just attend church—be the church. Your next step is waiting for you, and so are we.
Visit us this Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and start living the way God intended—in community.
