The Church
The Bible tells us that the church is the body of Christ in the world today. The New Testament tells us the church is a local body of baptized believers. The head of the church is Jesus Christ. The church exists to glorify God, to experience life together, to grow to become more like Christ, to serve God by serving others, and to share God's message with others.
