Churches Urged to Be Communities, Not Venues
Original: Is Your Church a “Place Where” or a “People Who”?
A Christian commentary is challenging congregations to consider whether their church functions as a 'place where' people gather for services, or a 'people who' actively live out their faith together. The piece argues that churches defined primarily by buildings and programmes risk missing their identity as a living community of believers, prompting discussion among pastors and laypeople about how congregations understand their mission.
Why now: Debates about the purpose and identity of church communities resonate widely among Christians reassessing congregational life.
