3. SOM-102 The Church & Its
Mission
Having studied the basic foundational truths of the
Christian church, it is now time for us to examine more
closely the church itself. Three basic questions need to be
answered in relation to the church, namely What is the
Church? How do we identify the church when we see it? &
How is the church supposed to engage the world?
6. “The Church is a people, a
community of people, who owe
their existence, their solidarity,
& their corporate distinctness
from other communities to one
thing only – the call of God.”
(John Stott)
7. “The CHURCH is the
covenant community of the
people of God.”

1. Called in Grace by God Tinawag ng
Diyos
– De 7:7-8 –The Lord set his heart on you & chose
you, even though you didn’t outnumber all the other
people. You were the smallest of all nations. You
were chosen because the Lord loved you & kept the
oath he swore to your ancestors. So he used his
mighty right hand to bring you out. He freed you
from slavery under Pharaoh (the king of Egypt).

38. NT Principles
1. The Bible assumes the appointment of a formal
leadership within the church, & that leadership
will be provided, with authority, by those so
designated within the congregation.
2. Leadership Team (cf. Ti. 1:5; Acts 14; Phil.
1:1).
3. God appoints individuals to the office of pastor-
teacher (Eph. 4:11) – distinct from, yet wholly
different from that of the elder, but affirmed by
the elders.
39. BIBLICAL BALANCE
The church needs The church also
effective pastoral needs a viable lay
leadership not just leadership team that
in preaching & is an authentic
teaching, but also in governing body
leadership in with real authority
oversight & & responsibility as
administration. well.
40. RATIONALE FOR VIABLE LAY
LEADERSHIP
The need for collective consensus, or to benefit
from the wisdom of the community.
The need for continuity. Pastors come & go but
the community continues its life & ministry.
The need for accountability. A necessary
safeguard & accountability structure for the pastor.

69. There is no dividing line between the church& the world. The
church may precede the world today, yet it is only living today
what the world itself is ultimately called to in the future. The
church in essence bleeds into the world ever calling it to its
true destiny. As a foretaste of the renewal of all creation, the
church cannot be discontinuous with creation. It cannot be
discontinuous with the world because the church is in the
process of becoming that very world renewed in Christ.
Neither can it merely blend into the world for then all
Mission&renewal is lost. Its presence will be in, among&for
the world even as it will be distinct from the world. This is
what it means to take on the incarnational nature of Christ. It
is this very incarnational nature that requires the church to be a
discerning community which at times both refuses conformity
with the world while at other times joining in (with what God
is already at work doing). – David Fitch
