We are the Church

Jesus Christ calls His followers to be the church - not play church.  Our passion for Him is to be followed by our passion for the family of God.  Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry and Evangelism - as we fulfill these five functions, we express our love for God and our love for people.

It always seems necessary for me to point out that the 'church' is not a reference to a building.  I say that because of my work in the Middle East and North Africa with SAT-7.  There is a Church, but no buildings.

In many places in Eastern Europe, places of worship  are referred to as a 'House of Prayer' and in Cuba, as 'Templo.'

These believers are more aware than we that the Church is only made up of people - and not with the buildings in which they meet.  Serious problems can arise when we are confused on this point.
