CHURCH

The Church is not a building, but rather the community of people saved by God who love and obey Jesus (1 Cor 1:2).  There is one big Church throughout the world made of small Christian communities from every nation, tribe, and tongue (Rev 5:9). Fethiye Halk Kilisesi is a small part of God’s big Church.  We are united together by the grace of God and our faith in Jesus (Eph 2:4-10).  Jesus is the primary leader of His Church (Eph 1:22-23) and the reason why we gather together (Matt 18:20).  We come together to pray, worship, & hear from God’s Word.  Jesus uses Godly men (1 Tim 3:1-13) & women (Rom 16:1-4) to serve His church so that every member grows in their faith and love for God (Eph 4:16).  The Church is called to be a light in a dark world (Matt 5:13-16) and a picture of God’s mercy & grace. We are a community of imperfect people, with our eyes on Jesus growing together to be more like Him (Eph 4:13-16)
