When God saves a person He places that person into His body-the church. In the New Testament the church met in a variety of places and participated in the life of fellowship. They gathered regularly for instruction, prayer, the ordinances, worship and fellowship.

The church is a glorious dwelling place where its members share in a life of love to God and to one another. The leaders of the church are referred to in the Bible as Elders. They are men of God noted for character of life, ability to teach, and commitment to truth. Deacons serve as models of Christian servant hood. Christians should join themselves to a local congregation for worship, fellowship, and accountability and should not forsake regular assembly.
