Our Membership Commitments

As those who have experienced the grace of God, we commit by the power of the Spirit to follow Jesus together in these ways:

1. As God has graciously given us his Word, I will submit to the Scriptures as the final authority in all of life (2 Tim 3:14–17; 2 Pet 1:19–21).

2. As the Father has adopted me into his family, I will gather regularly with this church family (Rom 8:15; Heb 3:13; 10:24–25).

3. As the Father is holy, I will pursue increasing holiness in how I speak and live (1 Pet 1:14–16; 2 Cor 6:17–7:1; 1 Thess 4:3).

4. As the Father disciplines those he loves, I will pursue and receive church discipline as a mercy from God (Matt 18:15–20; 1 Cor 5:9–13; Heb 12:5–11).

5. As Jesus has reconciled me to the Father, I will reconcile with those I sin against or who sin against me (Matt 5:23–24; Rom 12:18; Eph 4:1–3).

6. As Jesus has radically loved me, I will love and serve this church family (John 13:34; 15:12; Gal 5:13; 6:1–2).

7. As Jesus has been generous to me, I will financially support this church in joyful worship (2 Cor 8:9; 9:6–8:  Acts 2:42–47; 1 Cor 16:2).

8. As Jesus has given his church shepherds, I will submit to these pastors who are held accountable for my soul (1 Pet 5:2–5; Heb 13:17).

9. As Jesus has sent his church, I will make disciples in the power of the Spirit (Matt 28:18–20; John 17:18; Acts 1:8).

10. As Jesus has united us to his people, I will join with another biblical church should I leave this one (Acts 2:42–47; Heb 10:24–25; 1 John 2:19).
