Between all the extracurricular activities, errands, and to-do’s you need to get done, you may not be willing to add another weekly event to your list. But what if that event can improve your life in several ways? If you aren’t going to church every Sunday, you may be missing out on many benefits.

3 Reasons Why You Should Go to Church

1. Get Reacquainted With Your Spiritual Self

After a hectic work week or days filled with duties around the house, the weekend is a welcome respite from life’s stresses. However, if you’re only using those days to unwind at home or hang out with friends, you’re forgetting a key aspect of self-care: attending to your spiritual needs. When you head to church to hear the gospel, listen to a sermon, and sing hymns of worship, you can focus your mind and heart on being a better person to yourself and those around you.

2. Set an Example for Your Children

If you’re dreading getting out of bed on Sunday morning, your kids may be even more resistant to shutting off the cartoons and heading out the door. However, by making church attendance a habit, you can set an example for your kids. While they may not notice it now, your dedication to making going to church a weekly event will rub off on them. You’re teaching them the importance of worship and commitment. When they grow up, they’ll be more likely to head to church on their own, and pass their faith onto their children.

3. Be a Part of the Community

Even if it’s only an hour or two a week, make time to attend service and meet with the other members of your congregation. If you stay away from church for too long, you may feel out of the loop when you return or miss out on important chapters in the lives of your fellow congregants. By attending church consistently, you’ll strengthen bonds with the other parents or families, and you’ll find peace in the sense of belonging that it provides.
