07 The Church

The Church is the spiritual family of believers, built on Christ as the cornerstone. It is not a building, but the living body of Christ where God dwells by His Spirit. United by one faith, one baptism, and one Spirit, believers gather to worship, encourage one another, and grow in love and truth.

Saved by grace through faith, they repent, surrender fully to Christ as Lord and Master, and are baptized into His death and resurrection. They live in obedience to His commands, sharing in communion to remember His sacrifice. The Church is called to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey all that Christ commanded. Guided by Scripture and empowered by His presence, the Church reflects God's wisdom, love, and glory to the world.
