The church exists because of Jesus. And the mission of the church is to build up His body to do the work of the ministry. We could say that the body of Christ is made up of people and the work of the ministry is all about serving. People constantly growing in order to serve. The New testament paints 4 pictures of the church; We are a building, We are a body, We are a flock and We are a family. Each one of these pictures are reflection of Jesus loving and serving others. God created us to be a part of something way bigger than ourselves.
