Why Membership?

We ask you to commit to membership for 4 reasons

1. A Biblical Reason: Christ is committed to the church.
“ …Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her.” Ephesians 5:25

2. A Cultural Reason: It is an antidote to our society.
We live in an age where very few want to be committed to anything…a job…marriage… our country. This attitude has produced “consumer religion.” Becoming a member is an unselfish decision. Commitment always builds character.

3. A Practical Reason: It defines who can be counted on.
Every team must have a roster. Every school must have an enrollment. Every business has a payroll. Every army has an enlistment. Even our country takes a census and requires voter registration. Membership identifies our family.

4. A Personal Reason: It produces spiritual growth.
The New Testament places a major emphasis on the need for Christians to be accountable to each other for spiritual growth. You cannot be accountable when you’re not committed to any specific church family. Acts 2:42
