5 Benefits of Attending a Local Church

1. Spiritual Growth

“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.”

Every week, you will have the opportunity to listen to practical messages and lessons from the Bible. These teachings aim to help believers gain a deeper understanding of God's inspired word, the Holy Bible. The church is a great place for spiritual growth. It is where people can focus on knowing God better through His inspired word. The local church is committed to helping individuals spiritually by providing guidance and support.

2. Public Worship

“I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people...” - Ps 57:9

When believers gather to worship God, it honors Jesus Christ and the local church He established. The purpose of the local church is to provide a space for believers to worship God together.   

  • Congregational singing is Biblical. 

  • Hearing and agreeing with Biblical preaching is Biblical. 

  • Sharing testimonies and needs with other believers is Biblical.

3. Ministry Opportunities

“Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.” - Colossians 4:17

For those who follow Jesus Christ, the local church provides a platform to practice their faith. The local church offers several ministry opportunities to the believers, allowing them to fulfill the ministry that God has planned for them.

4. Protection From Apostasy

“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness...” - Ephesians 4;14

"What is truth?" is a common question, asked for centuries. The Bible contains the truth. Jesus warned his followers about "wolves in sheep's clothing" who would lead many people astray from God's truth. Regular attendance at a local church can help to protect you and your family from this type of deceptive teaching.

5. Personal Fellowship

“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:11

The local church provides a nurturing environment to develop deep, meaningful, lasting relationships through Jesus Christ. At Freedom, you can connect with other believers and find encouragement to inspire those around you.
