7 Basics of Belonging: The Meaning of Church Membership

What is the big deal about membership? Personally committing to church membership will help you grow spiritually. God did not design us to grow in isolation. Being on a spiritual island is lonely. The church is a community of imperfect people serving a perfect Savior together. We commit together to follow Him. The real reason you join a church is simple. Jesus is there. When church members fulfill their 7 basic responsibilities the presence of Christ through the Holy Spirit becomes self-evident. Every Christ follower is meant to be connected to the church. You are not here by accident. God has a plan for you, and that plan includes being a faithful and active part of a local church. Church membership includes seven basics of belonging. 1. Worship: Saying “yes” to God 2. Grow: Making disciples who make disciples 3. Serve: Reaching outward beyond yourself 4. Give: Honoring God with your offering 5. Pray: Prioritizing God’s will through prayer 6. Seek unity: Keeping the main thing the main thing 7. Sacrifice: Putting others before yourself Embrace the seven basics of belonging and serve God more through the church. You need your church, and your church needs you. The church is not a destination point for crowds. The church is a vehicle designed by God to reach the neighborhoods and the nations. Welcome to your church. God is here. You belong here.
