The Great Ends of the Church

Why did God decide that the world needs the church? A few centuries ago, the Presbyterian Church identified some grand tenets to describe the purpose of the church, which are called the "Great Ends of the Church." These six Great Ends describe what the church should be. Let's explore together how we measure up to these great ends and how God is calling us to be God's witness in the world.  

 

You ought to know how to behave in the household of God,

which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

– 1 Timothy 3:15
