4. for learning the word of God;
5. to do the work that God has called us to do for Him in the church

To teach the word of God. Church does not have to be a denomination.Where ever 2 or more are gather together in my name I am there also.(The Lord)The church are the people not the building. I teach Sunday School in the building where I live. We take no collection, We study the Bible and have a occasional book as a study guide with the Bible.We live by the teachings of Jesus, we are not just hearers of the word but doers of the word.
