Do you have students who struggle with church? This one-off message helps students see they belong in God’s story and community.

Details

Do I Need Church? is a one-off message designed specifically for student ministries that addresses one of the most common, yet quietly asked questions among teenagers: “Why do I even need church?”

This engaging, Scripture-rich teaching unpacks the beauty and purpose of the church, not as a building or event, but as a body, a family, and a community rooted in God’s design. It opens the door for honest conversations about boredom, busyness, church hurt, and isolation while calling students to see themselves as an active part of God's people.

This resource helps students understand why church matters—not out of obligation, but because it's how we were made to live: in community, on purpose, as part of something eternal.
