The Church is us: you and me and all who follow Christ.
Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. - Ephesians 4:16 ESV
Our Purpose: to glorify God.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His (God's) own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. - 1 Peter 2:9 ESV
Our Mission: to spread the Gospel.

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." -Matthew 28:18-20 ESV
