Deepen your understanding and enrich your experience of church.
When someone uses the word 'church', what comes into your mind
- A building where a congregation meets
- A room inside such a building
- The main Sunday meeting
- A denomination?
Graham Beynon shows that when the Bible talks about 'church', it is always only referring to people, and a particular sort of people at that. From a range of key passages in the New Testament, he explains what church is, what it is for, how it is to work, how it is to be led, and what it means to belong to God's new community in Christ.
