What it means to be the church?
The Church is both the body of believers and the institution. The Church is a community. We are called to love and support each other, to learn from and teach each other, to guide each other, and to love each other. Christianity is inherently a communal religion.
What does the Bible say about being the church?
The key verse on this is 1 Cor. 12:13,"by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body." We see from this passage that the church is like the physical manifestation of Christ.
How can I be the church?
Being the church is daily! It includes worshipping together, serving together, loving together, learning and growing together, praying together, engaging culture together, being salt and light together, and so much more. Being the church doesn't stop when you drive away from the church building or meeting place.
