People say, "I don’t need to go to church I can stay at home and worship God." However, that view is not supported by scripture. The word Church in Greek is “ecclesia.” It means “called out ones.” So, the church is the body of “called out believers” who have come together for the purpose of pursuing and worshiping God. Now, Jesus said in Matthew 16:18 “I Will Build My Church.” (It is His Church)

The Church is the BODY of Christ – Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular. Ephesians 1:22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church. 23. Which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

The Church is where Fellowship with the Body of Christ is Experienced – Acts 2:42-48 verse 42 And they continued daily in the apostle’s doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread and in prayers. Psalm 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me. Let us go unto the house of the Lord.
