Membership

Church membership is an honor Christ gives us and a commitment to other believers who covenant together to function as His local body. Yet in a day when commitment is frowned upon by the world, it should come as no surprise that church membership is a low priority among so many believers. Membership began at the start of the church in Acts 2, continued throughout the New Testament, and has been sustained in biblically functioning churches for 2000 years. It is vital for growth in the Christian life to understand what church membership is and why it matters.
