The Church In the New Testament, the Church means an assembly of believers. Literally, it means the called out ones. The Church is the body of Christ. He is the source of life and has authority over the body. The primary function of the Church is to love God and to glorify Him.
Worship is to be carried over as an attitude to the whole of life.
Thus God is to be worshipped not only through our praise and prayer, but our giving, our serving, our witnessing and our loving. The Church is to provide fellowship for believers. This is the common participation in the life of God. It expresses itself in unconditional love or agape , and in hospitality. The Church is called to serve.
