Everyone is looking for community -- it is one of our universal needs. The only earthly institution that can deliver authentic community is the church. Yet, a troubling recent trend has been the exodus from "the institutional church." A new "churchless Christianity" has emerged and many pundits argue that it is growing in momentum. We must address this critical issue for the sake of the Kingdom. Can a person be a fully committed follower of Christ and not love His bride, the Church? What has to be in place for a gathering of believers to be the church? What must change if your church is to express God's fullness in the same manner that Christ did during His earthly ministry? A small group Bible study that will challenge people to "be" church and not "play" church.
