Goal of the Church


The Body, Charles W. Colson, 1992, Word Publishing, Page 342

1. To exalt God in worship.

2. To evangelize, bringing people to a saving knowledge of Christ, with a church attitude that is outward oriented rather than a holy huddle mentality.

3. To edify, taking new Christians and maturing them in the faith.

4. To extend, reaching out into the community to meet physical, spiritual, relational, and emotional needs.
