The People are The Church

We believe in the Universal Church as an organism, not as an organization. The "Church" is made up of local, indigenous churches in every area that there are believers. The Church is not a building, but a local body, independent from all other local bodies. The Church can not be defeated by Satan, although, as predicted, in the last days it will be generally apostate. Membership in the Church is not a means of salvation.
