The Physical Body of Christ

Our church’s purpose is to embody and preview the Kingdom of God from Buckhead to Bankhead, which includes the work of racial reconciliation. Actually doing it depends on how well we believe and practice the metaphor of the body of Christ. The unity that we already have in the body motivates us to work hard to love each other and our neighbor. Diversity in the body puts us in uncomfortable positions, but it grows us to be able to love people different from us – which helps us better love our neighbors who are different from us. We do all of this through interdependent relationships, with a real feeling that we need each other to experience the fullness of Christ and to live missionally on the westside of Atlanta.
