The church is the Body of Christ. So, how does this concept that “we’re focusing on the youth” or “we are trying to reach young families with children” fit in? What about if someone is not on board with the changes and comments about it, should they be shown the door? Somehow, this feels like a clique or club. Church is where people in the Body belong. So, if a church where someone who is a believer, saved by faith in Christ through His grace and mercy, no longer feels welcome and is told, “you can just go down the street” I argue the church they are attending is possibly no longer part of the body of Christ. Shouldn’t people in the body feel welcome with other members of their own body?
