I find these challenging but essential questions to ask before joining a church:
- Is God’s word taught faithfully and relevantly?
- Does sound doctrine matter?
- Is the gospel loved and clearly proclaimed?
- Is it committed to reaching others with the gospel?
- Are its leaders characterized by humility and integrity?
- Do those who attend strive to live by God’s word?
- Will I be able to find and develop godly relationships there?
- Are its members challenged to serve?
- Will it discipline me in love for my good should I need it?
