The local church is one of the most controversial aspects of Witness Lee's teaching. The ground of the church refers to the basis on which Christians gather together. Every Christian assembly claims Christ as its foundation, yet Christians remain divided because they stand on a number of different grounds. Some stand on the ground of a particular teaching, cultural association, or practice. The New Testament, however, permits only one ground for the church—the ground of locality. Watchman Nee and Witne
Watchman Nee was the first person in modern history to put this New Testament vision of the local churches into practice. His co-worker Witness Lee continued his work by helping to establish local churches and by teaching extensively concerning the scriptural ground of the local churches. This website is a compilation of selections from the ministries of Witness Lee and Watchman Nee regarding the ground of the church revealed in the New Testament, for example:
