Purpose:
It is important to know that “the church” is not merely a building where we may attend religious services, nor is it merely a hierarchical, ecclesiastical structure with its quorums and auxiliaries. In the fullest sense, the church is the body of Christ; it is the body of believers. This body of believers, or “saints”, is not restricted to any particular organization nor denomination. In fact, “Whosoever repents and comes to me,” says Jesus, “the same is my church.” Furthermore, Jesus says of anyone who says otherwise, “the same is not of me, but is against me; therefore he is not of my church.” (D&C 10:67-68).
In all ages of the world, the saints have been commanded to gather together frequently to worship, fellowship, learn, serve, and participate in ordinances (more properly known as “sacraments”).
Leviticus 23:3 “Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation. (a designated assembly of people for sacred or religious purposes)”
Moroni 6:5-6 “And the church did meet together oft, to fast and to pray, and to speak one with another concerning the welfare of their souls. And they did meet together oft to partake of bread and wine, in remembrance of the Lord Jesus.”
More scripture could be cited, but it is sufficient to say that meeting together with fellow saints is a vital component to the life of every believer. For those saints who feel a call to explore and embrace the fullness of their restored religion, the meetings of the Mormon Legacy Ministry will help to meet this spiritual need.
