Chapter One
THE LOCAL CHURCH
Section I. The Church
Pastoral Charge

and

Name: ________________________
______________________________

201. Definition of a Local Church

The local church provides the most
significant arena through which
disciple-making occurs.
It is a
community of true believers under
the Lordship of Christ. It is the
redemptive fellowship in which the
Word of God is preached by persons
divinely called and the sacraments
are duly administered according to
Christs own appointment. Under
the discipline of the Holy Spirit, the
church exists for the maintenance of
worship, the edification of believers,
and the redemption of the world.
202. The Function of the Local
Church The church of Jesus Christ
exists in and for the world. It is
primarily at the level of the charge
consisting of one or more local
churches that the church encounters
the world. The local church is a
strategic base from which Christians
move out to the structures of
society. The function of the local
church, under the guidance of the
Holy Spirit, is to help people to
accept and confess Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior and to live their
daily lives in light of their
relationship with God. Therefore,
the local church is to minister to
persons in the community where the
church is located, to provide
appropriate training and nurture to
all, to cooperate in ministry with
other local churches, to defend
Gods creation and live as an
ecologically responsible community,
and to participate in the worldwide
mission of the church, as minimal
expectations of an authentic church.
