We believe God has called all believers to be members of their local church where they can be known, loved, & equipped to experience the Real Life God has planned for them.
How Do I Become a Member?

Why is Church Membership Important?
- Unity and community: The Bible emphasizes the importance of believers gathering together regularly (Hebrews 10:24-25). This provides a structured way to be part of a community of faith.
- Spiritual growth: Being part of a church family allows Christians to learn from teaching, encourage one another, and grow in their faith (Ephesians 4:11-16).
- Accountability: Church membership often involves submitting to spiritual leadership and being accountable to fellow believers (Hebrews 13:17).
- Service and using spiritual gifts: The church is a body with many parts, each serving an important purpose (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). Members are encouraged, enabled, and equipped to use their gifts to serve the church community.
- Support and care: God calls us to care for one another, both spiritually and practically (Galatians 6:2, James 5:14-16).
- Representation of Christ’s bride: The church is the bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25-27), and membership signifies being part of this larger spiritual relationship.
- Discipline and restoration: Church membership provides a framework for biblical discipline and restoration when necessary (Matthew 18:15-17, 1 Corinthians 5:1-5).
