    Is the purpose of the church to win souls or worship God?

    Welcome to the Baptistboard,

    God has an eternal purpose that He has made known to the church. A part of that purpose is described here;
    from the 1689 confession of faith;
    5._____ In the execution of this power wherewith he is so intrusted, the Lord Jesus calleth out of the world unto himself, through the ministry of his word, by his Spirit, those that are given unto him by his Father, that they may walk before him in all the ways of obedience, which he prescribeth to them in his word. Those thus called, he commandeth to walk together in particular societies, or churches, for their mutual edification, and the due performance of that public worship, which he requireth of them in the world.
    ( John 10:16; John 12:32; Matthew 28:20; Matthew 18:15-20 )
