According to recent statistics, 75% of Americans said they are Christian but only 37% attended church regularly before the global pandemic. Now it’s even less as many people stopped attending church in person, began to only attend online services or simply decided church attendance was no longer important.

Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”

As a believer, there are several benefits to you of attending church on a regular basis. Attending church helps increase your faith. Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” When you hear the Word of God being preached at church, it reinforces your faith and helps you to grow as a Christian. It can also give you comfort in times of trouble and sorrow.

At church, you make Christian friends who can become your support system. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Several logs will burn brightly together in a fireplace but if you take one out and set it aside, the flame will go out. It’s the same for you when you stop attending church.

As you make new Christian friends, they can help you to grow in your faith. Building relationships takes time and desire. You can learn together how to live out your faith in your daily life and how to apply the Word.

If you have children, it is also important to raise them in church. It provides them with a solid moral foundation. It gives them the opportunity to make friends with other Christian kids who can become positive role models for them as they face peer pressure growing up.
