Are churches essential? As our country continues to argue over which public gatherings are truly essential, the Scripture is inarguable: a church, by definition, is a gathering of God's chosen people.
And our gathering together is vital to our enjoying, equipping, and expressing the miraculous union we have with Christ and one another. "I pray... that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You... that the world may believe that You sent Me." John 17:21 (NKJV) Join us this Sunday – a communion Sunday – as we consider, "Essential Church: Communion in Christ's Body."
