    Here are some reasons they should go to church:

    To encourage other Christians. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

    To partake of the Lord's Supper on the first day of the week. (Acts 20:7)

    To give. (1 Corinthians 16:1-2)

    Because they rejoice in the truth (1 Corinthians 13:6) and that is where the truth is taught. If you love the truth, you should desire to be where it is taught and practiced.

    Because they love God and wish to worship him.

    To sing to and with fellow Christians. To speak to, teach and admonish fellow Christians in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. (Eph. 5:19, Col. 3:16)

    Because they love Jesus. Jesus is the head of the church, and the church is his body. (Eph 1:22-23) How can you love someones head and not their whole body?

    Because the Bible tells us to "love the brotherhood". (1 Peter 2:17) How can someone say they love the brotherhood, but they don't want to spend any time with them?

    To pray with fellow Christians.

    To "be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity." (1 Timothy 4:12)

    To hear the word of God, because that's how faith comes. (Romans 10:17)

    King David said, "I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the LORD.” " (Psalm 122:1) We should have that same attitude.

    Going to church is a good thing for a Christian to do. "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin." (James 4:17)
