Church Membership
Why is membership important?
Church membership is a biblical principle showing the church as an organized unit, and becoming a member is an important step in deepening your commitment to Christ. Scriptural references of church as a family include Romans 12:4-5 (a body of members); John 10:2 (a fold of sheep); and 1 Corinthians 1:2 (a church of saints). We should never get church membership confused with being a part of the heavenly body that Christ will be returning to take with Him.
It is at physical church gatherings that we develop healthy and wholesome relationships with fellow believers. Membership also provides accountability to the work and support of the ministry for God’s Kingdom. Jesus’ commitment to His church (the body of believers) includes calling committed pastors to watch over our souls (Heb. 13:17), so it is important for us to be committed to an assembly where we can be guided, nurtured, loved, and taught.
