Temple answer
The Temple answer
The purpose of the church is to make sure a shared belief system lives on through everyday life. A church is the hub of a belief community. Its purpose is to keep the belief alive, organized, practiced, taught, defended, and carried into daily life.
What the church does
A church does not exist only to hold services. It exists to reinforce a belief system, preserve it, teach it, practice it, organize it, and carry it into daily life. It is where people gather, learn, pray, worship, serve, correct each other, remember what they believe, and pass that belief to the next generation.
Live what you believe
The purpose of the church is not just to tell people what to believe. It is to help people live what they believe. Not just sermons. Not just Sunday. Not just a building. The church serves as the hub for the community built around that belief system.
The Temple as hub
