Church Discipline refers to the practices and procedures that a religious community, particularly within Christianity, uses to address and correct behaviors that are considered sinful or contrary to the teachings of the Bible. This process aims to restore individuals to a right relationship with God and the church, emphasizing accountability and spiritual growth. Typically, Church Discipline involves several steps, starting with private correction and, if necessary, escalating to public admonition or exclusion from the community. The ultimate goal is reconciliation and repentance, fostering a healthy and supportive environment for all members of the congregation.
