In a heartfelt message shared on his official Facebook page, Pastor Joel Osteen has encouraged his millions of followers worldwide to strengthen their faith by connecting with Bible-based churches in their local communities. In the post, Osteen highlighted the importance of being part of a church family, sharing resources for finding a church through his ministry’s Champions Network of Churches.
“Wherever you are, we always want to encourage you to get connected with a Bible-based church in your area!” Osteen wrote. “Click here to find one of our Champions Network of Churches: [link].”
The Champions Network, which is a global initiative created by Osteen’s ministry, aims to connect people to vibrant, biblically grounded churches that can offer spiritual guidance, fellowship, and support. The initiative provides a directory of churches across the world, making it easier for individuals to find a church where they can grow spiritually and be part of a supportive faith community.
Osteen, who leads Lakewood Church in Houston one of the largest churches in the United States has long emphasized the importance of spiritual community. His post comes at a time when many individuals are seeking ways to deepen their faith, especially in the aftermath of the pandemic, which forced many to turn to virtual services rather than in-person worship.
“Being part of a church family is vital for spiritual growth. It’s where we can learn, be encouraged, and experience the love of God through others,” Osteen explained in his post. “Whether you’re new to the faith or have been walking with God for years, finding a supportive, Bible-based community is key to walking out the promises of God in your life.”
Followers of Osteen quickly responded to the post, expressing their appreciation for the resources and support being provided. Many commented on how important it has been for them to find a church home where they can connect with like-minded believers and grow in their relationship with Christ.
“I found my church through the Champions Network, and it’s been a game-changer for my spiritual journey,” one follower wrote. “Thank you, Pastor Joel, for making it easier for us to connect with others who share our faith.”
Osteen’s call to action also reflects the growing trend of churches around the world using digital platforms to reach new believers and provide resources for spiritual growth. With the Champions Network, his ministry aims to further extend the reach of the church and make faith-based connections available to individuals from all walks of life.
As the post continues to circulate, many are taking Osteen’s advice to heart, recognizing that being part of a church is not just about attending services but about being part of a family that encourages one another and walks together in faith.
