THE CHURCH EXISTS FOR MISSION Sample Clauses

THE CHURCH EXISTS FOR MISSION. Church is seen as a dispenser of religious goods and services. People come to church to be “fed,” to have their needs met through quality programs, and to have the professionals teach their children about God. I go to church. Consumer Church “This is the whole of Christianity. There is nothing else. It is easy to get muddled about that.
