The Invisible Church

I had a professor once who talked about the “Invisible Church.”  He was referring to the Body of Christ, working together under the leading of God, glorifying God and building up the Body.  This Church is invisible, because it isn’t really tied to any organizational structure, denominational theological structure, or power base.  It is simply made up of the people who are a part of Christ’s Body, walking with God and building up the Body.
