What is the Church?

The church is not a building. It is a people that God has called together and made alive by faith. Although the activities of the church are important this book begins with who Gods people are recognizing that the churchs activity results from its identity. When we call children to be a part of the church, we are calling them to be a part of a gospel people. And, as a gospel people, the church is a believing family, a community of missionaries, servants, learners and worshipers. This book is a call to Gods people to live as the people that God has made them to be.
