Membership
“For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”
Romans 12:4-5
Why covenant church membership?
We believe that deep commitment to a local church is an essential part of following Jesus, and we'd love to welcome you into that with us.
God’s design is for every believer to live out His commands in the context of a local church. We are called to belong to one another, submit to faithful teaching of the Scriptures, observe the ordinances of baptism and communion, exercise church discipline, pray, sing, and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, among many other things. God’s word is clear His people are designed to function as part of the body of Christ; we are members of one another. Covenant church membership is simply the way we express and live out what God calls us into.
