Basics of A Church

The document outlines seven commands of Christ for building a healthy church. It discusses establishing a holy vision focused on glorifying God, recognizing the authorities of God's word and Christ's lordship, appointing elders, pastors, deacons, and a treasurer as church offices and leaders.
