Who Needs the Church?
Why We Need the Church (and Why the Church Needs Us)
Terry L. Johnson
For laypeople
Biblical explanation of importance of local church
What it means to be the church
It seems that increasing numbers of professing Christians in the West do not attend church. Church, to many, has become a place to go when it is convenient, to have one’s needs met. Examining what the Bible has to say about the church, Johnson shows why the local body of believers is an essential part of the life of every believer – and the role that each individual believer plays in the life of the church. This thought–provoking, challenging book will benefit every believer.

Terry Johnson is the senior minister of the Independent Presbyterian Church in Savannah, Georgia, which he has served since 1987.

Christian Focus
In short, accessible chapters, Johnson carefully restores church to its rightful and central place.

Principal, Edinburgh Theological Seminary, Edinburgh, Scotland
In this short, thoroughly biblical and practical work, Dr. Johnson sets for the case in a manner that is convincing and convicting (in the best sense). His suggestion of the norm of local church membership as Sixth Sola is hard to refute, after reading this work—unless one elevates individualism over discipleship.
David W. Hall
Senior Minister, Midway Presbyterian Church, Powder Springs, Georgia
Written with provocative apologetic flair, Pastor Terry Johnson informs his readers that the church is not a voluntary institution, but a living organism to which we must belong. You will walk away from this resource not only better informed biblically, but encouraged and motivated to invest deeply in the bride of Christ, the church of God.
Erin Wheeler
Author of ‘The Good Portion – The Church: Delighting in the Doctrine of the Church’
This book is a timely call to a Biblical understanding of what it means to belong to the body and bride of Christ, and the blessings that come from gathering physically as God’s people.
