The church is the visible community of God’s people gathered together in faith to worship and serve him and to represent him to a watching world.  God primarily relates to us and to his world through his church, which is the living body of Christ, the vital fellowship of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 3 & 12).  She is a supernatural creation, built upon the life-giving message of the gospel; in the church the gospel is embodied, and through the church the gospel is displayed and proclaimed.  Therefore we believe that the most fundamental contribution we can make to the renewal and peace of Brooklyn is the planting and proliferation of neighborhood churches faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
