HIGHFALLS CHRISTIAN CHURCH
We Live, We Love,
We Serve – Jesus Christ our Lord
The Christian church is not a building, but a body of believers united in Christ. Its role is to worship God, nurture and edify and reach out to a suffering world with the saving message of the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as the practical compassion and mercy exemplified in Christ. There are many images of the church in the Bible, but we will mention just three: the church as the Body of Christ, the People of God and the Bride of Christ. Christ is the head of the church (Ephesians 1:10; 4:15) and Christians are the body. “People of God” is another image of the church. God says of the church, “I will be their God, and they will be my people” (2 Corinthians 6:16; Hebrews 8:10 NIV). The church is also referred to as the Bride of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:32; Revelation 19:7; 21:9), suggestive of a special and sacred family relationship between Christ and the church. So, as we live, we love, and we serve – Let’s celebrate Jesus Christ our Lord and the His Gift of eternal life.
John 13:35 – By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
