Presentation Description:
What does it mean to be part of the Body of Christ? Why is Christianity not merely an individual pursuit? What gifts does Jesus gives to each of us through the Church, and how do these gifts equip us to serve others? In this session, we will explore why the Church matters in our faith lives and how the beliefs, practices, and gifts of the church enable us to share hope and life with the world!
