I think
attending church is very important, it is not what makes us saved, or what
makes us Christians, but it is a place to learn and study God's word, and
a place to be supported by the other church members. If you attend
a church, you know that some members become like family to you. I
encourage you to find a good church to attend. Check the doctrine
of the church is. The church needs to believe in the entire Bible,
if they believe in the whole Bible, then everything else falls into place...the
Holy Spirit, etc.
Here is some information about the church that I attend, The Church of
God of Prophecy, and what we believe in.
