What Is Essential About Church?

We know that the Church is essential. She is the Family of God, the Bride of Christ, the Temple of God built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets with Jesus Christ being the Chief Cornerstone and comprised of living stones for the dwelling of the Spirit. And, yet, a lot of messages around us have told us that Church is not essential. 

This Sunday Chris and I will begin a series teaching from Rowan Williams’s book Being Christian which answers the question, “What is essential about Church?” The four basics that have been shared by all Christians in all times and places are Baptism, Bible, Eucharist, and Prayer. 

I hope to see you Sunday in person (register here) or online as we begin this important series and re-discover what is essential about the Church. 

See you soon -

As we behold the face of God in the face of Christ, we are transformed into his image. This is what it means to be fully human—to become like Jesus, the truly human one, and to grow more and more in the freedom of the children of God.
