The Church is the people. They could meet anywhere ~it does
not have to be in a building that looks like a church.
Many of the best "churches" were started in somebody's living room
What is the Christian church supposed to be?
"I write so that you may know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth" (1 Tim. 3:15).
The Christian church should be a reflection of Jesus' love, words, and deeds. Its goal should be to glorify God, make Jesus known, develop godly people, and make disciples of every nation. The church should be a group of believers, on the whole and in part, who live and teach the saving words of Christ. To the extent that Jesus lived truth, so also should the people in the church.
The church is not supposed to be the building or the structure of a ruling body who act in the place of God and dictate to the congregants what is and is not truth. The church is not headquartered at Salt Lake City, Utah, or Brooklyn, New York, or Rome, or Jerusalem, or any other city. The church is not headquartered in a central location -- except to say that the Head of the Church is Jesus, who is in heaven. The church is not a convention, a building, a series of meetings, or commitments. The church is the living Body of Christ comprised of the redeemed in Christ. The external trappings of celebrations, rituals, buildings, robes, hymn books, organs, pianos, chairs, pews, windows, etc. are merely those things that give a tangible effect to the invisible reality of redemption. These externals should not be considered the substance of the church. The substance of the church is
the redeemed in Christ.
