The Church Defined

We are launching an eight-week small group study titled "The Church Defined." This journey will explore the biblical model for the church and emphasize the vital role every believer plays within it. The focus will be on understanding passages like Ephesians 4:16, which reminds us, "From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." Through this study, we will be encouraged to embrace our roles in building up the body of Christ.
