A Good Church is a Place of Worship–And a Community
It’s interesting that we say, “Go to church,” as if the church is a destination or organization. But this is not the original definition of “The Church.”
The True Church Is Not a Place or an Organization; It’s People
Peter was the first person to declare that Jesus was “the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.” People who believe that Jesus is the Savior (Messiah) are the people who make up the whole church—these people exist in many churches. You’re allowed to go to church (the services) even if you’re just exploring this idea and want to learn more. Church services not a place for perfect people. The true church is not an organization. It’s made up of all of the people, across all churches and the world, who profess that Christ is the Messiah and seek him.
If you go to a church—a church that’s organized in a home or building—it’s a place to pray, worship, learn, serve, and be in community with people whose belief is grounded on that profession. Together we seek to grow in the knowledge of God.
Your goal in finding a church is to find leaders and a group of people who are 1) Promoting God and the Scriptures more than they’re promoting themselves, and who are 2) being supportive, kind, and welcoming since God’s love is what truly reveals a connection to God (1 Cor. 13)
