Who or what is the church and how is it important to my life today?  If someone asked you that question would you have an answer?  Maybe you are struggling with what is the nature and mission of the church.

 To be relevant in today's world the church must understand her nature and mission.  The New Testament refers to the church as both the body and the bride of Christ.  Jesus is the Head of the body (Col. 1:18) and the bridegroom of the bride (Mt. 25:1-13).  Jesus founded the church and purchased it with His blood.  The church consists of those who have trusted in Jesus as their Savior and Lord.  The apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Ephesians, describing the nature and mission of the church. Pastor Von will be preaching through Ephesians beginning April 11^th.  

He has entitled the series:  "The Church that Christ Built."  The first section of the series "Under Construction" - Faithful, Chosen, Redeemed, Heirs, Enabled.
