what church is and is not

Church is not:

• a means to an end
• a strategy or method for ministry
• a vendor of religious services
• a group is just "for me"

Church is a people. N.T. Wright says it like this, the church is a people gathered by God in a particular place to be Jesus for the whole world. We are a people on a mission together. We gather to reveal, reflect and witness to the presence of God.

So tell me, what did I miss?
