Why Is Attendance At A Local Church Required?
Church Membership Binds People Together In A Lasting Relationship and Provides an Environment For Full Human Maturation
Although church membership is not necessary for salvation, it is necessary for the maturation of the Christian. Church is the place where we obtain the strength to avoid the pitfalls of immoral behavior and learn how to live responsibly, as members in the family of God. I believe that this is what the Apostle Paul was referring to in Hebrews 10: 24-25:
"24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habait of doing, but let us encourage one another---and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
Healing Rain Ministries requires church attentance because it is scriptural and because we know that church attendance is necessary for full recovery from the bonds of abuse. Please note that we have links to several websites of different Bible teaching and believing churches located in Cache Valley Utah. You are free to choose any church and denomination that you want to, but we highly recommend the ones on this list.
