Please let us share the good news with you and what is the meaning of church membership.

 

Join the Church – Three Ways to Receive Membership

Statement of Previous Profession of Faith and Baptism by emersion

*He/ She will present self as a candidate for membership and “Statement of *Faith” at the close of regular worship service.

*A candidate may be a member of an evangelical church which proclaims the Gospel and immerses those who profess faith in Christ.

*This candidate may join by “Statement of Faith”, and baptism is not necessary since he/she has already been immersed as a believer in Jesus Christ.

*Candidates from other denominations who have not been immersed will be received for baptism rather that by Statement of Faith.

*When presenting yourself for membership, you will be asked to complete a card when you join, and someone will be available to assist you.

*All candidates for membership must complete a New Members Orientation Class before membership granted.

*A member must be in agreement with the doctrines and practices of our church.

*A member is expected to give regular financial support by contributing tithes and sacrificial offerings.

*A member is expected to give conscientious endorsement to the church covenant and vision of the church.
