What is the Church?

What Is The Church? looks at the different meanings of Church.

The Church is the people of God, a community of believers whose faith in Jesus, his Father and Spirit gathers them together and unites them. We gather in faith, remember and live the Jesus story, break bread together an doffer service to the needy in Christ's memory.

The Church is the body of Christ. Here everyone, as members one of the other, renders mutual service according to the different gifts to each.

The Church is the family of God, a sign of God's presence in the world, a sign that points out Christ to others.

This video explores the meanings of home church, parish church, world church and challenges us to become a faith community that continues to do what Jesus did and taught in caring about others, especially the poor and needy.
