Need Transportation to Church?

Many people desire to attend church but face a simple, practical obstacle: transportation, they just need a ride. Whether it is a senior citizen who no longer drives, a family with limited resources, or a child who depends on others for a ride, the lack of transportation can become a barrier to worship and spiritual growth. God’s Word teaches that the church should seek to remove obstacles that keep people from hearing the truth and gathering with God’s people.

The Bible says, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19, KJV). This command reminds us that the gospel is for everyone—young and old alike. The responsibility of the church is not only to preach the Word, but also to help people access it. Providing transportation is one way a church can demonstrate Christlike care in a practical and meaningful way.

Scripture also teaches the importance of gathering together. “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another” (Hebrews 10:25, KJV). For some, the issue is not a lack of desire to attend church, but a lack of ability to get there. When transportation is provided, those who would otherwise stay home are given the opportunity to worship, learn, and grow alongside fellow believers.

We believe that providing transportation is also an expression of Christian love. The Bible says, “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2, KJV). Helping someone get to church may seem small, but it can make an eternal difference. A ride to church can lead to hearing the gospel, receiving encouragement, and finding a church family.

This ministry blesses every age group. Children can be brought to hear Bible lessons and build godly friendships. Teenagers can attend youth services and grow in their faith. Adults can participate in worship and discipleship. Seniors who no longer drive can remain connected to the church and continue serving the Lord. Transportation provided ensures that no one is overlooked simply because of their stage of life.

This is where Lighthouse Baptist Church in Asheboro seeks to help. Lighthouse Baptist Church believes the church should be accessible to all who desire to attend. Through its transportation ministry, rides are provided so that people of all ages can come to church, hear God’s Word, and be part of a Christ-centered community.
