Is Church Membership Really Necessary?

January 4th, 2022

While there is not a specific command to join a church in the Bible, being a member of the church is a major biblical teaching. So how do we connect being a member of the universal church, to being a member of a local church? And why is it so important and necessary? This video does a really great job explaining the spirit behind committing to a local congregation.
