Membership

As members of the body of Christ, God desires that we commit ourselves to a specific local congregation that helps us mature and grow as believers in Jesus Christ. He wants us to develop a sense of belonging and identity within Christ’s body. Remember, no matter our race or nationality, as members of the body of Christ, we all belong to God’s family, a family that loves and accepts us unconditionally. The New Testament addresses a group of believers who identify with a local church, helping us understand the principles, accountability, encouragement, and commitment we inherit from the early Church.
