What does the Bible say about the church's purpose?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that the purpose of the church is to proclaim the gospel and facilitate fellowship among believers.
The church, as described in Acts 13, serves as a divinely ordained institution where the gospel is to be preached and believers gather together in fellowship. The primary purpose of the church is to further the gospel by equipping its members to witness to others about Christ's saving grace. This gathering of 'unworthy sinners' creates a unique community bonded by love and the work of the Holy Spirit, which stands in stark contrast to the world.
