Why Do We ... ?

The idea of membership is familiar to all of us. We are members of many things: gyms, teams, stores, and unions. Church membership, however, is more than just a club membership; it’s a declaration. It signifies that you belong to a body of believers who are committed to helping each other and serving together to accomplish Christ’s purposes on earth.

Big Idea: Being a member of a local church shows that I belong to Christ and His body.

1. Membership is Inherent in the Purchase Made by Christ
2. Membership is Intended in the Picture of Christ’s Body
