This study on the Church is in PDF Format only. These are not Sunday School lessons, although they could certainly be adapted for such.  At the Middletown Bible Church we use this study as part of our membership procedure.  Each prospective member is asked to work through these 59 pages so that they can understand what the local assembly of believers is all about.  This study was written by Stephen Thorpe.
