There are thousands of Christian denominations. What does the Bible say about God’s Church?

• The Church belongs to the Lord: God leads and equips His Church according to His will. The Church does not belong to us, it is God’s.
• Provision comes from the Lord: Ministries in a church are successful because God is active. We are called to testify about the work of God in our lives; we set out in faith and He meets our needs.
• Protection is provided by God: The church is built on the truth that Jesus is God. Believers are protected from the world’s influence through the teaching of scripture.
