Like a family, the church provides the church provides for the spiritual needs of her members. The Holy Spirit distributes various gifts and abilities to the members so that they may serve and encourage one another (1 Cor 12:4-11). As members of the family, we need to work together using our God-given abilities to help each other grow. The spirit of unity and mutual support is the guiding principle of the church. Having the love and grace of our Lord as our common bond, we share together the joy, peace, and strength in Christ.
