Is Church and the Bible Necessary? | Aaron Sturgis | Central Lutheran Church

January 21, 2024

Many of us have wondered at some point or another... "Can I believe in God, but not attend church? Isn’t just being a good person all that really matters? And what about the Bible - what do I do when it's confusing or makes me uncomfortable?" One approach is to cancel the church or the Bible all together. Another approach is to take a closer look at the role of the church which connects us to one another and the way the Bible informs us and gives witness to the larger story of God's love. Have you ever asked, "Is the church and the Bible necessary?" If so, join us!

But what vision might God have for all of us, living together in this great big world? Let's wonder about this together in worship. Join us!
