Benefits and Responsibilities of Membership

Membership in the local church is a physical representation of being a member in the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:12), of which He is the head (Col. 1:18)
As a member of the church, you have the benefit of giving and receiving mutual love and care with the other members of the church. “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together” (1 Cor. 12 25-26)
Church membership allows you to be pastored and shepherded well by those who “keep watch over your souls.” As you lovingly submit to the leaders of the church, they will be able to lead the church with joy, which is to your benefit (Heb. 13:17)
As a member, your voice is honored in the affirmation of important decisions under the guidance of the elders
With these benefits come responsibilities. As members, you will agree to regularly participate in worship services, participate in the life of the church through service, and to further the Kingdom by your gifts and offerings
