6. Invite Others to Church
One of the most powerful ways to support your church is by helping it reach new people. A personal invitation to a friend, coworker, or neighbor often means more than any social media ad or mailer.
Share upcoming events or sermon series online, but make it personal: “I’d love for you to come with me this Sunday.”
7. Protect Unity
Healthy churches guard against gossip and division. If concerns arise, talk directly with leaders rather than spreading frustration through conversation or social media.
Ephesians 4:3 calls believers to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” When members protect unity, the church grows stronger and outsiders see the love of Christ in action.

8. Care for People in the Congregation
Every church family has people walking through tough seasons—illness, loss, financial hardship, or loneliness. Look for ways to serve quietly.
-
Drop off a meal for a grieving family.
-
Offer childcare to parents who need rest.
-
Write a note to someone who’s been absent.
These small acts communicate the heart of Jesus and strengthen the bonds of community.
9. Use Your Gifts
Romans 12 reminds us that every believer has spiritual gifts meant to build up the body. Some teach, some serve, some encourage, and others lead. Don’t wait for a perfect opportunity—start where you are.
Ask God to show you how your talents, personality, and experiences can bless your church family.

10. Stay Engaged Beyond Sunday
Supporting your church goes beyond one hour a week. Engage through prayer groups, outreach events, online devotionals, or mentoring younger believers. Stay curious about what God is doing through your congregation, and look for ways to be part of it.
Living Out the Call To Support Your Church
When you support your church, you’re not just helping an organization—you’re advancing God’s mission through your local community of believers. Prayer, generosity, unity, and service all reflect the heart of Christ, who said, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35).
This week, choose one new way to strengthen your church—pray for your leaders, sign up to serve, or reach out to someone who needs encouragement. When the whole body works together, the church becomes what God designed it to be: a light that cannot be hidden.
