The Church
by Bethel Music
Theology & Meaning
The song emphasizes the church as a Spirit-formed people, gathered around Jesus and shaped by God's presence. It aligns with the biblical vision of the church as God's temple and the community where Christ is exalted. It is best framed as a prayer for unity, holiness, and faithful witness.
Worship Leadership Tips
This is ideal for prayer nights, vision Sundays, or sets focused on unity and mission. Keep dynamics patient and do not rush the build. If you extend a bridge, guide it with specific prayer prompts for the church, the city, and the next generation.
Arrangement Tips
A worship song centered on God's presence among His people and the identity of the church as His dwelling. It is reflective and powerful for corporate prayer moments. Use the practical leadership notes above for arrangement guidance.
