What is the Church?
In your opinion what is the church?
Is it the building, and organization or the people?
The church is a living and active fellowship of people who believe Jesus to be their Savior and Lord.
The church represents the place that God wants believers to grow and to minister to others.
The church is more of an organism than an organization.
Discussion Question: Regardless of what you think church is, how do you treat church?
Do you treat it like an organization/building or a family?
What do you think are the major differences between these two ways of treating them, and how do you think understanding the church in one way or another can impact your faith and you relate to God and people?
When the church is treated like an organization/building, the following takes place:
Principles matter more than people.

5 Ways to Look at the Church’s Relationship With the World
Christ Against Culture
Christians are in opposition to culture and the world around them.
These Christians usually withdraw from the world.
Christ of Culture
Christians must accommodate their beliefs, values, and practices to the contemporary questions and concerns of the world.
Christ Above Culture
Christians should integrate their beliefs, values, and practices with cultural developments in music, media, computers, business management, demographics, and so on.
Christ and Culture in Paradox
Christians exists in an unsolvable tension between church and the world.
Just as those who believe that believe in “Christ Against Culture,” the church and the world are in irreconcilable opposition to one another.
However, Christians should not withdraw, for they are called to still minister until Jesus comes back.
