I believe in the church in spite of its imperfections. The church will never be perfect in this world. It is made up of people struggling to do God's will - but people who are still human with their weaknesses and sin.
I believe in the church in spite of its limitations and handicaps. Sometimes a church can be hindered by lack of vision and commitment. But in spite of all of this, the CHURCH is the only agency in the world that provides a place where people can gather to worship God.
I believe in the church because it is a agency of God's Holy Spirit, and Christ instituted. It is an instrument of the eternal. I believe in the church because it is God's chosen vessel for carrying on his work of redemption in the world.
