I’m reading a few things that are really helping me ask good questions. Like this one:

For what purpose does the church exist?

– To facilitate healthy relationships with God and neighbors?
– To equip and send disciples into the world?
– To act as a conduit for spiritual formation in community?
– To be the people who participate in the emergence of the Kingdom?

What’s your one-liner? How would you CONCISELY define the reason for the church’s existence?
