Why do we go to church?
Together Is the way we do life.
God is attracted to His people, doing life together. He delights in the gathering of His children and for this reason we choose to be a people who never ‘go it alone.’ Why would we go solo and rob ourselves of greater influence? There’s power in our together! There’s commanded blessing in our unity! There’s strength in our numbers! People assembled together for a cause says something that no individual can, which is precisely why Jesus left behind the disciples rather than the disciple.
When we are together we are able to accentuate one another’s strengths and compensate for one another’s weakness, so it is crucial that we stay as committed to the Church as we are to our God. For staff, leaders and volunteers this TOGETHERNESS is achieved through the commitment and participation in Citipointe Church worship and service.
To love Christ and yet reject His body is a gross misunderstanding of both the plan of God and the value of people. In our eyes, Church is one of the greatest miracles on the planet! One body: working, living, loving and praying together for the advancement of God’s Kingdom and the salvation of souls. There is no more worthy, important or challenging cause than this…and it is only when we are together that it will be achieved.
Acts 2:44,46-47
44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere Hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Church isn’t a place; it’s people following Jesus together.
