A City Set on a Hill

This booklet describes the biblical nature and purpose of the church. It uses several key metaphors from scripture, defining the church as the unified body of Christ, a holy temple indwelt by God, a loving fellowship, the pillar and ground of truth, and the light of the world. The booklet emphasizes that the church must maintain doctrinal soundness and visibly demonstrate Christ's life through holy living and evangelism to fulfill its mission.
