What is the Church really?

We've had several interesting threads about the church (the universal ekklesia) of Christ on here. WL is infamous for saying something like "We are becoming God in life & nature, but not in the Godhead." (is that stating it accurately?) And maybe his statement is going too far in trying to grasp this mysterious concept. But to say the least, the depiction in Ephesians is that the church is something really awesome, high and glorious - God's masterpiece - above what human thinking can easily comprehend.

So I thought it would be good to start a thread about what we think the church actually is, and it's place in God's grand design. What do you see is the nature of this most amazing corporate entity we've been put into by Him?
