Why is it important for the church to be one?
Unity in the Church: Speak in love, live in love. Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. The picture of unity among believers joining together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is breathtaking!
Is it wrong to attend two or more churches?
Though a person may serve as a member in one church, he or she may attend two or more churches. Is it wrong to attend two or more churches?

Should my spouse and I attend different churches?
Our answer is still the same, “Ideally, no, they shouldn’t attend different churches.” But if, at this point, they can’t agree upon going to the same church, it can be a better alternative than continuing to argue about it. This type of fighting can cause damaging cracks to the relationship.
Can there be more than one church in the Bible?

What if one of you goes to another church?
If one of you goes to my church, I would actually tell you to go to the other church rather than remain at the Bible Church with your divided communities. Remember, almost every church records its sermons now. If you love your current pastor’s preaching, just listen to it online during the week.
