The Church A Place For All In Achieving Church Growth by ChurchLeaders(m): 2:33pm On Aug 01, 2017
We are the church you and I, however in the context of the discussion ‘The church a place for all’, we mean the place where people gather to worship God, although the church is the gathering of saints or the congregation of saints.
Notwithstanding it is also a transformation, transition, translation, renewing and redemption place for sinners from darkness to the marvelous light of Jesus, that is, it is a place that should be accessible to all, believers and unbelievers with the aim that no unbeliever would retain their master satan and unbelieving status.

This statement is further justified by Jesus who declared that He did not come for the righteous only but also for the unrighteous, in fact He came mainly, especially and specially so that the unrighteous can be saved. With this the church should understand that Jesus is not giving up on unbelievers. God does not desire that anyone perish but all comes to Him and be saved, if the unbeliever is important to God then they should be important also to the church.

The purpose of the church is not just to communion with saints but also a platform to invite and bring the lost to Christ. The church carries the presence of God as the word of God says that where two or three gather for His sake, there He is and in the presence of God there is liberty; this means that when unbelievers come to church, in the presence of God the power for salvation is released.

In a nutshell the church is a platform for soul winning, which is the heartbeat of God, that is why one soul is not just one soul, so much relevance is attached to every soul such that there is great rejoicing and celebration in heaven over a soul.

Any church that does not win souls for God is definitely very stagnant, unpleasing to God and not completely fulfilling the purpose of its existence. Such a church can never achieve church growth.
The church of God should never close its hands or doors to unbelievers because Jesus is still knocking in their heart. You never can tell which church service will open their hearts for Jesus to enter.
