Understanding Church Identity in a Non-Christian Culture

In a culture that increasingly overlooks Christianity, the church's mission and identity are crucial to its survival and effectiveness. It emphasizes the need to understand the church’s purpose as outlined in Scripture, which serves as an essential guide for representing God's kingdom. Misunderstanding this purpose could lead to a failure in mission, making it imperative for church members to actively engage with and embrace their faith. To aid in this understanding, a free e-book titled 'Being the Church in a Post-Christian Culture' has been created, providing resources to help clarify these important concepts.
