What is Membership?
Membership in a church is unlike a membership to any other organization. Attending a church is not like attending a meeting to a club. In those contexts, members are consumers and audience members, and the organization exists to serve them.
Membership in a church, however, is entirely different. Membership means transitioning from a consumer and becoming a provider of God’s love and care through the means of ministry and service.
Why Does it Matter?
To become a member of a church is to make a public promise to live according to the Scriptures and to support the work of the congregation. The Bible calls this a covenant.
According to the Bible, a public promise, or covenant, is the basis for all society: marriage, employment, citizenship, church membership, friendship, etc., are all relationships of accountability.
Your membership matters because it holds our congregation accountable to encourage, rebuke, correct, and serve one another and our church in humility and compassion. It is a bold statement of commitment, saying: “I am a part of this body and will walk alongside of you in your faith journey. Will you do the same for me?”
