New City Catechism | Q48: What is the church?
Answer: God chooses and preserves for himself a community elected for eternal life and united by faith, who love, follow, learn from, and worship God together. God sends out this community to proclaim the gospel and prefigure Christ’s kingdom by the quality of their life together and their love for one another.

Though our iniquities testify against us,
Lord, act for your name’s sake.
Indeed, our rebellions are many;
we have sinned against you.
Hope of Israel,
its Savior in time of distress,
why are you like a resident alien in the land,
like a traveler stopping only for the night?
Why are you like a helpless man,
like a warrior unable to save?
Yet you are among us, Lord,
and we bear your name.
Don’t leave us!
This is what the Lord says concerning these people:
Truly they love to wander;
they never rest their feet.
We acknowledge our wickedness, Lord,
the iniquity of our ancestors;
indeed, we have sinned against you.
For your name’s sake, don’t despise us.
Don’t disdain your glorious throne.
Remember your covenant with us;
do not break it.

Westminster Shorter Catechism
Repentance unto life is a saving grace (Acts 11:18), whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin (Acts 2:37), and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ (Joel 2:13), does, with grief and hatred of his sin turn from it unto God (2 Cor. 7:11; Jer. 31:18, 19; Acts 26:18), with full purpose of, and endeavor after, new obedience (Ps. 119:59).
