Rediscover Church Study Guide: Why the Body of Christ Is Essential (The Gospel Coalition and 9Marks)

A Companion Study Guide to Rediscover Church, Great for Small Groups, Sunday School Classes, and Entire Congregations

With the COVID-19 pandemic, changing priorities, and polarizing political and social issues, many people are now choosing to worship online―or quit church altogether. Some are asking, Does God care whether I attend church at home or in person―or at all?

Over the course of 9 lessons, this companion to the book Rediscover Church emphasizes the significance of face-to-face fellowship with the family of Christ. Through guided study, Bible passages, and discussion questions, readers will find help to reengage with their local church.

Published in partnership with the Gospel Coalition and 9Marks.

• Encouraging and Timely: A helpful reminder of the importance of the local church and why it’s important to attend in person
• A Thought-Provoking Study: Each chapter includes personal reflection questions, Bible passages, and quotes from the book
• A Wide Variety of Uses: Perfect for Bible study groups, discipleship groups, Sunday school classes, and whole congregations
