-A church: This refers to the universal church (all born again believers), but more commonly it refers to a local church, which is our meaning. (1 Pet 2:9, 1Cor 1:2)
-is a group of born again believers: This distinguishes the true church from groups and cults that can wrongly label themselves a “church.”
-who meet regularly for biblical worship: Usually this means meeting at least weekly to practice such things as singing, prayer, the Ordinances, exhorting and encouraging each other, giving and other forms of worship, and exercising spiritual gifts.
-are led by shepherds: These leaders are more commonly called "elders" (PRESBUTEROS) signifying leaders with mature spiritual experience. In the New Testament, the term "elder," is always plural except for two times when it refers to the office of elder.
-who preach the Word and lead the congregation: Usually there is one primary teaching and leading shepherd/elder (1 Tim 5:17) and others who are "able to teach" (1 Tim 3:2) but who handle other ministry responsibilities and assist in leadership (Hebrews 13:17, 1 Thes. 5:12-13).
-toward the purpose of glorifying God by fulfilling Jesus’ Great Commission: Every believer and every church should "go and make disciples" (Matthew 28:19-20). Thus, the church’s objective is to spread to all people the joy of knowing and serving Christ.
-and Greatest Commandments: "‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’" (Matthew 22:37-39). That being so, every church should seek to obey His Great Commandments.
