THE CHURCH

One true church, the body and the bride of Christ (Ephesians 1:22 23; 5:25 32), composed of all true believers of the present age (1 Corinthians 12:12 13); and the organization of its members in local churches for worship, for edification of believers, and for world wide gospel witness, each local church being autonomous but cooperating in fellowship and work (Ephesians 4:11-16)
