“We believe God, by His Word and Spirit, creates the Church, calling sinful men out of the whole human race into the fellowship of Christ’s body. By the same Word and Spirit, He guides and preserves that newly redeemed humanity. The Church is not a building, religious institution, or denomination. Rather, the Church is made up of people who have become genuine followers of Jesus Christ and have personally appropriated the gospel.”
