The Fully-Functioning Church of Christ

When eminent ministers from afar visited the Tabernacle in the time of C H Spurgeon, they invariably recorded their wonder at how the church functioned in numerous ministries involving so many members. Today many see Spurgeon as a man of the pulpit, not always realising his promotion of earnest Christian service by all, through the Lord’s enabling.

The individual congregation exists by divine design. Autonomous and self-governing, it is the pillar and ground of Truth, the Saviour’s appointed instrument for the proclamation of his Word. It is a house of worship, of prayer and also of service to the Lord, for which we need to uphold the biblical concept of a ‘working church’.
