“They Devoted Themselves…”

The Very Rev. Dr. Dan Alger
Written By The Very Rev. Canon Dr. Dan Alger

What is the church? What does it mean to be part of this community of believers that call themselves Christians? Whether you were raised in a specific faith tradition or not, there are many assumptions of what the church is and what it means to be part of this community. We’re going to spend the next few weeks in Acts 2:42 looking at what the apostles had to say about the essentials of what the church always has been and always should be.

Scripture Reading: Acts 2:42
