Is Church Important?

I’m asking my readers this question today: Is church important to you?

Many people call themselves Christians. Some of those people go to church multiple times each week. Some of those people go to church every Sunday. Some of those people go to church sometimes. Some of those people don’t go to church.

Does going to church make you a Christian?

Does not going to church effect how you feel about God and how you act as a Christian?

These are all questions I’m wondering about today. How important is church to your belief in God? And if you don’t believe in God – how do you perceive church and Christians?

I know this is a completely personal and controversial topic…so I’m okay with my readers posting anonymously if they choose to do so. But I would like to hear your opinions and what you think of all of this.

Personally, I don’t think church is as important as some people make it out to be. I think it is important to belong to a church and have teachings from a Pastor and be apart of your community…but lately I think there is too much emphasis on WHERE you are being a Christian as opposed to HOW you are being a Christian. Sitting in on a good sermon and talking to your holy friends doesn’t make you a Christian in my opinion. To me, Christianity is a lifestyle. So my answer is this: I think church is important, but it’s only a small piece of what makes a person a real Christian.

What about you?
