Tullian Tchividjian cites Harvie Conn's conviction that "church"--the community of God's people--is a model home on exhibit:
The late Harvie Conn, professor of urban church planting at Westminster Theological Seminary, used the analogy of a model home to describe all this. Jesus, the kingdom developer, has begun building new housing on a tract of earth's land, purchased with his blood. He has erected a model home as an exhibition of what will eventually fill the whole world. God intends the church to be that model home. We're his demonstration community. We're to put the rule of Christ on display, showing the unbelieving world what human life and community can look like with God at the center.
