The word “essential” refers to something that is absolutely necessary, fundamental, or crucial for the existence, completeness, or functioning of a particular entity or system. In the context of Essential Church, it signifies the fundamental and indispensable aspects of faith, community, and healing that form the core identity and purpose of the church. 

Essential Church embodies the very essence of what is crucial and indispensable in our spiritual lives. We are not merely a place of worship; we are a dynamic community committed to the fundamental principles of faith, love, and healing.
