Membership Matters
“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.” 1 Cor. 12:12
Joining a church is an important aspect of being a Christian. Learn how we are fulfilling God’s command to build his kingdom. Now that you have been visiting for some time and heard and seen some of what our church is about, we invite you to attend our membership class. You will be learning more about our church’s doctrine, ministry, and about the privileges and responsibilities of formal membership. Attending the class will not obligate you to become a member.
If attending the membership class convinces you that joining our church will help to you grow in your ability to love and serve God, we would be delighted to have you become a member of our body. By joining our church, you will demonstrate in a concrete way your desire to unite with us to advance Christ’s kingdom. Membership also will allow you to enjoy ministry opportunities and privileges that are not available to people who only attend our church, including the following:
-
You may participate and vote in congregational meetings, where we seek to discern and plan how to follow God’s vision for our church.
-
You will be eligible to minister to the children and youth in our church (after completing our standard screening process).
-
You can seek more opportunities to use your spiritual gifts, including those of teaching, serving, and leading within the body.
-
If you need counseling or support from our leaders when their time is limited, your request for assistance will take precedence over requests from people who have not joined the church.
You also may meet with our leaders, who would be happy to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about membership.
