National Association of Christian Ministers How to Series: Ministry

 

If you are starting a Christian church, you need to be very careful what you believe and how you act. Your actions and words will determine the kind of reaction that your churchgoers will have towards you. Some churches are very open to all religions and even people of other faiths. If you decide to start a Christian church, you must start by telling your church members that you are not trying to convert them or any other Christians; you simply want to share the truth.

A Few Things to Consider

There are some Christians that hate having to give any sort of answer for any questions that they may have. They will not even speak to an atheistic fellow believer. Your church is not one of these types of believers. You need to talk to everyone, to anyone who would like to be treated fairly, no matter what they are thinking or feeling.

Do not let your religion put a damper on the relationship between you and God. God is there for you when you ask him. If you start a Christian church and don’t share your faith with your church members, it could cause problems in the future.

Many Christians tend to treat others differently and many churches are still dominated by those who have religious beliefs. Some Christians even feel threatened when the word “atheist” is spoken because they feel that people have to have God as their only answer for anything. When you start a Christian church, you need to share your beliefs with your church members without judgment.

A lot of Christians feel very intimidated by atheists, so they avoid having to talk to them in public. In a small town, this may seem like a good thing, but if you start a Christian church and start talking to atheists in public, you may encounter opposition, which could put your church at risk.

You do not have to worry about all of this because you are starting a church. If you feel like you need help, you can find online resources and articles about starting a Christian church to help guide you through this process.

The problem of fear when talking to atheists is very real; many churches have had trouble getting started because of their fear. However, you do not have to worry about this when you start a Christian church because you are starting a Christian church.

A large number of people start a Christian church because they have problems. They don’t know where to turn, and they don’t want to be ridiculed or judged, but they need help because of their problem.

The biggest obstacle for most people when trying to start a Christian church is fear; it is the thing that holds them back. but once you start a Christian church, fear will be no longer an issue for you.
