Membership


What is membership?


At JESUS NATION we have a high view of church membership. We think it is important to express our reasons in a forthright manner. Church membership is:


1. Confession of Faith- Faith is invisible, but it results in visible evidence, and along with a changed life, words of witness, and Christian baptism, there is identification with God’s people.


2. An Expression of Gratitude-The church is Christ’s body on earth. He bought it, formed it, and uses it to do His will. When we identify with the Church, we express to God our commitment to and our gratitude for the Savior.


3. A Confession of Need-The Church is not a museum for perfect saints; no, it is a rehabilitation center for “improving” Christians. We need all the help we can get, and in the fellowship of the Church, we gain much help and discipline.


4. An Involvement in God’s Program-No local Church is perfect, but we need to pool our gifts and talents to fulfill God’s great plan. Together we can do what singly would be impossible.

​

Why become a member?


The answer is commitment. Commitment both to Christ and His Church, reflected in attendance and ministry involvement.


Joining the church has nothing to do with salvation or eternal life. But the Church does represent the place of spiritual growth for the believer. The Church is the God ordained place of spiritually gifted ministry by those who desire spiritual growth.


God never intended that any Christian should live in isolation. He knows we need to belong to a community because He made us that way. The word “saint” never appears in the singular, only the plural. We need each other, and God provided the Church to meet that need.


The community was designed and put together to meet the needs of the people. The Bible calls it a “body”: one body, but many members. The Church is the house of God. We are the family of God. We are children in God’s family. We are in God’s “forever family.”


All of us like to be around people who are committed. Membership is a public way to demonstrate your commitment. We are the visible body of Jesus Christ-the body in the local New Testament Church. Membership is a powerful testimony to the world.
