Church: Why Bother? Part 1 - What is the Church?

Woodside Bible Church Lapeer

In 2021, a polling organization published a report revealed that over the last 6 decades the percentage of American adults who belong to a local church dropped from 70% to 49%. It seems that an entire nation is asking a critical question about church…why bother? Many of us often wonder if going to church is really worth it. We can often fill our Sundays with errands, sports games, and kid’s activities—putting church and its people on the back burner. But what if we told you God has a beautiful design for the church that very much includes YOU? The book of 1 Timothy speaks to these truths. And if each of us submits to them, our church will function as the loving family God intends. One that beautifully represents the truth of God’s merciful plan of salvation through Jesus. Join us each week as we look at the answers to the question, Church: Why Bother? Listen to our first message of the series, What is the Church?, and learn how the church is a family that upholds the truth and spreads the gospel.
