I will build my Church

Matthew 16:18

Jesus Christ made the emphatic statement “I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”.

In this series we look firstly at what the Church is, and then how the Church is manifested by local assemblies of believers all over the world. We call these assemblies ‘Local Churches’. How do these function? What do they do? Who has oversight and what is the manner of their organisation? All these questions are considered and answered in the following series.
