What Does It Look Like To Commit To A Local Church?

(1). YOU JOIN:
You officially join the church so that the pastors and others there know that you’re part of the team.

(2). YOU MAKE THE LOCAL CHURCH A PRIORITY:
You build your life around your priorities, so that other things take a back seat. Commit: Sunday morning in church. Wednesday night in church.

(3). YOU PRAY FOR YOUR PASTORS AND LEADERS:
Hebrews 13:17, “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.” Pray for us.

(4). YOU FIND WAYS TO SERVE:
Serving is the fastest way to feel a sense of ownership in your church. It’s also the best way to build relationships.” Don’t wait to be asked to serve. Look for ways to serve.

(5). YOU GIVE:
“Because the local church is where you are nourished spiritually, it should be the first place you invest financially” (p. 74). 10% of income. Pass the plates, on-line giving, bill pay.

(6). YOU CONNECT WITH PEOPLE:
Being married is a relationship. Being married to the church means getting to know some of the members on a level that you cannot do just in passing on Sunday mornings. Sunday School class.

(7). YOU SHARE YOUR PASSION:
When you’re in love with the church, you can’t keep it to yourself. You want others to experience the same joy.

When you see that the church is God’s kingdom, His household, and His temple where He dwells, it should motivate you to fall in love and get married. Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her. So should you!
