And I attend church, and host a home group, but I am interested to know what other people feel. Please hear my heart on this, I don't really care one way or the other, I just know that it is good, it is well run and maintained and protected by boundaries that are entirely scriptural, and that I have learned a lot, especially about myself here. Is Worthy a church? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've spent time praying for an answer to this question myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many here who are not able to go to a church building and I think they do consider the fellowship and love found here a type of congregation... I do enjoy my personal fellowship and worship at church, but I also understand how some Christians do not feel comfortable in a church. As long as we keep our eyes on Christ and focus on His Word - we are in worship... Blessings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the definition, Worthy is pretty close to a cyber-church. We don't meet in a building, but we do meet at a URL.... People come here to learn and make cyber friends. Most of us consider others as our brothers and sisters in Christ and I would imagine most of us consider ourselves members of Worthy. Fellowship definately...... church..... almost.
