As a pep rally?
As a place to go worship God in communion with others?
As a place to go to prepare for the coming week?
As a hangout for Christians?
As a place to meet friends?
or something else?

I have found my church home. I was never really a church goer until I joined to my current church. I did not have any idea what a joy it can be.
I love to study God's word. I love to sing cheerful worship songs to my Lord. ( I find that my voice though seem to be in between of soprano and alto, so it is not easy for me really let my sing flow...and I sing with heavy accent...God hears it ) I love to bring my offering. I love to receive communion for forgiveness of my sins. I love to fellowship with other Christians.
My church leads people to a life changing connection with God. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of living God, our Lord and Savior. We keep the Bible as the center of the teaching. I love it because my church is not running a popularity contest. They teach the word of God. It is the kind of church that encourages you to serve God. We should NOT be only church consumers, we need to serve God. Worship is for God. The heart of the worship is surrender.

A place to worship God in and learn and a place to receive the Body and Blood of my Savior. The Living Bread and Living Water.

It's what you are or what you may become.
Where is the church?
Where is the Temple?
If you have the Spirit of God dwelling in you then you ARE the temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:16).

CHURCH IS A PLACE FOR SINNERS WHO LOVE JESUS. WE ARE NOT PERFECT NOR DO WE CLAIM TO BE. WE JUST WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT JESUS. ITS NICE TO HAVE FRIENDS AT CHURCH, OTHER CHRISTIANS YOU CAN LEAN ON WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH AND THAT'S WHAT THE PASTOR IS THERE FOR TOO. OUR PASTOR HAS ALOT OF WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM, OUR CHURCH HAS 3,000 MEMBERS AND GROWING! WE HAVE TO HAVE 3 SERVICES EACH WEEKEND CAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE. WE HAVE A REALLY COOL BAND TOO. THEY PLAY GUITAR, ELECTRIC GUITAR, DRUMS, JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. PLUS THEY HAVE A CHOIR MADE OF ABOUT 30 PEOPLE. THEY HAVE 3 BIG SCREENS UP FRONT, THE MIDDLE SCREEN SHOWS THE WORDS TO THE SONGS WERE SINGING AND THE END 2 SCREENS SHOWS THE VIDEO TO THE SONG. THE KIDS HANG OUT HAS POOL TABLES, ROCK CLIMBING, HOCKEY TABLES ETC. THEY'VE GOT LOTS OF TEENS. OF COURSE THE TEENS SING AND LEARN GODS WORD ALSO. I REALLY LOVE MY CHURCH AND OUR PASTOR IS A GREAT GUY. HE'S REAL, HE DOESN'T PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE HE'S NOT, AND I REALLY LIKE THAT IN A PERSON. DURING WORSHIP I ALWAYS FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, IT IS WONDERFUL. PEOPLE LIFT THEIR HANDS AND VOICES IN PRAISE!

A place where you can fill the Spirit of God all around. Were the Word of the Lord is preached and teached and where the people can't get enough of Jesus.

A wonder place where I get to commune with people who celebrate God, my only wish is that we as a church family would do it more often.

I stopped going to church, because the ones I been to I would describe as a social club with different cliches. If you weren't in their cliche, they would not speak to you and you would feel very unaccepted there.
