Chris.
The Church is very precious to its Head - Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that He gave Himself for the Church. The Bible also tells us today that the Lord wants us to be a pure Church that gives Glory to the Lord. This means that Church Leaders have an awesome responsibility to care for the Church. We should be praying for our Church and its leaders.
