The Six Purposes of the Church: How They Really Play Out in a Local Congregation. Part 1 of 9: Why We Talk about the Purposes of the Church Today

Listen Later

The purposes of the church originate with the early churches in the New Testament. When Rick Warren wrote The Purpose Driven Church in 1995, the purposes became commonplace in conversations in churches around the world. Thom takes a detailed journey about the purposes of the church through nine episodes. Keep all of them together to share with your church leaders and members.
