Why do I need church?

Good question!

A: It's the Constitution, it's Mabo, it's justice, it's the law, it's the vibe...
- Dennis Denuto, The Castle (1997)

Actually, no. At Soma, we find that a lot of people have great questions, but only get answers that are about as articulate as Dennis. But Christianity has nothing to hide, and has lots of answers.

We've found that people tend to be thinking one of four things when they ask this question:

  • I believe in Jesus, but I'm not so keen on church.
  • Church seems irrelevant to me.
  • God is not imporant to me.
  • I do plenty of good things in my life apart form the church; being part of a religious institution seems unnecessary.
