Why You Should Join a Christian Church?

At Varick Chapel AME Zion Church, we believe that the Bible teaches that we are to glorify God through our lives with other Christians in the context of a local church.

When you join our church, you become a member of the church. The term ‘membership’ refers to the scriptural idea that we are all members of Christ’s body; that we are a visible body of committed believers who serve as a visible witness in our community as we steward God’s many graces and gifts for the building up of the body of Christ.

Joining our church can be a transformative experience that enriches your life in numerous ways. It provides a sense of community, spiritual growth, and a foundation for moral values. 

Here are several reasons to consider becoming a member of our church:

• Community and Fellowship: One of the most significant benefits of joining is the sense of belonging you will feel. We are a vibrant community that comes together to support one another, share experiences, and build lasting friendships. 
   
• Spiritual Growth: We support you during your spiritual development. Through sermons, Bible studies, and various church activities, members can deepen their understanding of their faith and grow in their relationship with God. This spiritual growth can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
   
• Moral and Ethical Guidance: Being part of a Christian church can help you navigate life's challenges with a strong moral compass. The teachings of Christianity provide a framework for making ethical decisions and living a life aligned with values such as love, compassion, and forgiveness. This guidance can be particularly beneficial in today’s complex world.
   
• Opportunities for Service: We emphasize the importance of serving others, both within the church community and in the broader society. Joining our church can provide numerous opportunities to engage in volunteer work, outreach programs, and charitable initiatives. This sense of service not only benefits those in need but also fosters a sense of purpose and fulfillment in your own life.
   
• Support During Life’s Transitions: Life is filled with transitions—be it marriage, parenthood, career changes, or loss. We can offer support during these times through counseling, prayer, and community involvement. The church community can be a source of strength and encouragement, helping you navigate both the joys and challenges of life.
