Christ is the life. Church is the living.

Welcome to the church in Toledo, an organic and vital body of believers consecrated unto Him, living out His eternal purpose on this earth day by day, moment by moment. 

WHO WE ARE

In every generation, there have been those who, in answering the Lord’s specific and intimate calling, have stood firm as a testimony for Him. In this era, the testimony is not that of individual spiritual men, but of the corporate expression and outlived realization of Christ through His church. We are grateful to be those ones to whom He has revealed His eternal plan and His move on the earth in this age. As the world changes rapidly, we find ourselves looking more deeply unto our precious Lord, the source of all administration, to rejoice and prepare together with all the saints for His coming.

LITERATURE

Priests in the wilderness: I. Outside religion and culture

Who was this man sent from God? Being a Levite, John the Baptist was born into the priesthood and raised with all the priestly knowledge according to custom and tradition. We’d expect to find him in the temple in priestly garb, carrying out his priestly duties. In the beginning of Matthew, however, we encounter him in an unlikely place—in the wilderness of Judea (3:1).

“Here, there is a realm, and this realm has never been individual. When we come together, we move like an army. Whatever we do, it’s done completely, efficiently. Everyone’s cooperation is unbelievably precise. You won’t find this kind of unity in any company or religious organization. This is because we are not only leading each one’s heart, but also each one’s life. We are same-souled because we share the same Spirit. That’s just the way the church is produced.”

JOURNAL

“And they continued steadfastly in the teaching and the fellowship of the apostles, in the breaking of bread and the prayers. And fear was upon every soul; and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles. And all those who believed were together and had all things common; And they sold their properties and possessions and divided them to all, as anyone had need. And day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with exultation and simplicity of heart, Praising God and having grace with all the people. And the Lord added together day by day those who were being saved.”
