PEOPLE ON A MISSION

What does the church believe about . . . the church? In this message, we see that the church is the body of people who join God in his mission to bring blessing to the world. First, we explore the mission of God in Scripture. Then we look at the nature of the church as a community of people, and then we look at the mission of the church as being a continuation of God’s mission.
