What Is the Church? (Crucial Questions)

When the word church is mentioned, many people think of a building. Others think of a denomination. But the church is so much more.

In this booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul explains that the church is a group of people, not a building. These Christians make up the universal family of God and are called to live lives that glorify Him. Beginning with one of the church’s earliest statements of faith, Dr. Sproul takes an in-depth look at the “one, holy, catholic, and Apostolic” church.

The Crucial Questions booklet series by Dr. R.C. Sproul offers succinct answers to important questions often asked by Christians and thoughtful inquirers.
