Can you go to church if you are not a christian

Can you go to church if you are not a christian

To answer to this question, it’s worthwhile asking another question first: what is church? Church is more than a building. Church is wherever people gather to worship God and interact with each other—and that can be in a house, on the beach, in a park…

So, can I go to a church service if I’m not a Christian? Most certainly. Church services exist not only for people to worship God but to provide a place where people can discover more about his teaching.

Jesus made a strong point of teaching that he came for all people. He came to seek out those who needed to find him and have their sins forgiven. Jesus challenged people by saying that it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. Jesus opened the door for everyone to come to faith

In the Bible, you will read that Jesus mixed with all kinds of people—the religious and non-religious; the most powerful in society and those without a ‘voice’. He sought out all kinds of people because he cared for them as much as those who did believe in him.

If you are thinking of attending a Christian church it’s a good idea to visit a few different ones (including The Salvation Army) until you find a place where you feel encouraged to connect with God.

Don’t just visit one and assume all Christian churches worship in the same manner. There are many different church cultures these days and they are worth checking out.

  4. Some gamers compare slope 3 to classic arcade games like "SkiFree" for its simple yet engaging gameplay.
