Episode Synopsis

Built to Belong | Identity Before ActivityWhat does it really mean to belong to the church?In Week 1 of our Building the Body series, we’re reminded that the church is not an event we attend or a service we consume — it’s a body we belong to. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12:12–13, this message reframes church life around identity before activity, family before function, and grace before responsibility.At Citadel, belonging isn’t earned and value isn’t proven — it’s given by God. In this message, we explore what it means to move from attendance to belonging, and how true belonging naturally leads to shared life and responsibility.Whether you’re new to church or have been around for years, this message grounds us again in who we are together in Christ — one body, many parts, built by grace.If you’re looking for a church family or want more information about Citadel, we’d love to connect with you.
