Church Society (Watford)

The Church

In Scripture the Church is essentially local and universal. Wider structures exist to promote the mission and work of local churches, to facilitate fellowship and to provide a witness at different levels of society. These structures must not be allowed to detract from or drain the local church.

The Church should honour and respect its heritage of faith, not being blown about by the latest fads and fashions. Yet it must also be fresh and new in its love for Christ and in seeking to make the gospel known.
