It’s what I know
If I didn’t come to church, then I would not communicate with adults outside of work. This is my family.

Because I believe in Jesus Christ and the mission of the church and want to support it.
Connecting with others in worship allows a sharing of ideas and a support network of love.
Hearing the morning message, singing hymns, attending Sunday school class, etc. provides spiritual inspiration and insight.
Attending church provides a corporate connection and avenues to provide service to the community.
Church lifts me up with a positive and happy message that carries me through the week.

I believe in the savior Jesus Christ. I trust that his message and mission are the truth. I want to develop my spiritual understanding of His love. I come to be uplifted by His message through His influence in the lives of others as expressed when we worship together.

Jesus came for sinners, to save them. I come to be saved.

I must believe in Jesus and the things that he did because I want to have my second life, in heaven. I must believe that the Father raised Jesus from the dead as well.

Hmmm….Church or Shamrock Run in downtown Portland? No question – church! It’s a chance to be with my spiritual family, my tribe, my community, to recharge the spiritual battery that gets drained by dealing with issues in the real world and having to endure the insignificant stresses of those who lack awareness of a sense of beyond (where life is about more than what they think is important about work).
