Martin Luther once said, “Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?”

The church exists to be a people who reflect Jesus. The idea is that if you want to see what the heartbeat of Jesus is all about, look at the heartbeat of the church. If you want to find out who Christ really is, find his church. The local church is intended to make the invisible Christ visible to each other and to our community.
