What is a church about?

You can get the gist of what we think about the purpose of the church from the blurb at the top of the right column, but here's another thought on the topic of "fellowship":

Did you know that for almost the first three centuries of the history of the Church, there was no such thing as a church building? What was church then? A. The body of believers committed to Christ and to each other.

I'm just doing a study on the "one another"s of the Bible for our 20/30s retreat next month, and am overawed at the sheer number of commands in the New Testament in which Christians are taught how to relate to each other. Try hovering over these links to see for yourself! I think you'll be blessed as you do. Please pray for us too, that ours would be a church where the one another commands of the Bible are uppermost in our lives.

In His lovely Name
