A local church which believers are comfortable with and have confidence in is one that is sacrificially marked, scripturally made and spiritually minded.

"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20

* The Assembly - where two or three (composition)
* The Association - are gathered together (congregation)
* The Authority - in My name (constitution)
* The Attraction - there am I (character)
* The Assurance - in the midst of them (confidence)

It is always the Person of the Lord in consideration, not the people, nor the principles, nor the practices.
