So, what exactly IS a church?
“A church is a group of Christians who assemble as an earthly embassy of Christs heavenly kingdom to proclaim the good news and commands of Christ the King to affirm one another as His citizens through the ordinances and to display Gods own holiness and love through a united and diverse people in all the world following the teaching and example of elders.”
- Rediscovering Church, by Leeman & Hansen
Biblically, the church is a group of disciples who gather to worship God, our Father encouraging, equipping and sharing the good news with each other under the leadership established by God.
