Why church? What’s the point?

Why church? What’s the point?
We come to connect with one another.

Why church? What’s the point?
We come to find healing and hope in a world of hurt, hate, and disregard.

Why church? What’s the point?
We come to confess and repent and become better people.

Why church? What’s the point?
We come to be reminded that Christ calls us to take the Good News into the world.

Why church? What’s the point?
We are church. We are God’s people created and called to take good news to the poor, proclaim release to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind. We are called to liberate the oppressed and proclaim the grace revealed in the year of divine favor.(Luke 4:18-19 CEB)

But why?
We are church. The Lord requires us to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8 CEB)
