In a season where we're still partly divided by our location we're exploring who the Bible says we are as Church. Church is not a building or an event. We are the body, citizens, a flock and much much more. You are church and the beauty of our collective identity is unaffected by distance and wholly defined by our God. |

chURch | Overview
|
The writers of the New Testament used many different ways of thinking about and describing the Church. Each one has something to teach us about who God has designed and created us to be as His people. In this series we hope to explore what these different metaphors teach us about ourselves as individuals and ourselves as the Church. What does it mean to be the 'body of Christ' when we can't meet as we used to? How do we be citizens of heaven in an increasingly partisan world? What does the family of God look like in a post pandemic world? We hope to explore these questions together and be challenged and encouraged by the biblical picture of God's Church.
