The Church The People of God We Love and Build Up with Jacob Cherian

What is the Church, and why does it matter? In this inspiring presentation, Jacob Cherian explores the biblical vision of the Church as the communion of saints, the body of Christ, and the people of God called to worship, holiness, unity, and mission. Drawing from the Seoul Statement, he unpacks six foundational truths about the Church—its identity, calling, and witness in the world today. From facing internal challenges to embodying Christ in diverse contexts, this message calls us to love and build up the Church for the glory of God.

Part of the Seoul Statement Companion Series, this video invites Christians to rediscover the beauty, purpose, and mission of the Church in our time.

Watch now to be renewed in your love for the Church and its calling to declare and display Christ in the world.
