What is the church, and why did Jesus establish it? In this message from Trinity Bible Fellowship's Statement of Faith series, Pastor Phil Fernandes explains the biblical doctrine of the church as the body of Christ, made up of all who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. Discover what it means to be part of God's called-out people, why Christian fellowship is essential, and how every believer has a role in fulfilling Christ's mission.

This message explores Jesus' declaration that He would build His church, the unity of Jewish and Gentile believers through the gospel, the authority of Scripture as the church's foundation, and the believer's calling to worship, serve, encourage one another, and boldly proclaim the gospel. Learn why the church is empowered by the Holy Spirit to stand for biblical truth and advance the kingdom of God in a world that desperately needs Jesus Christ.
