Church Membership is important at Edinbrook.  Strong and effective groups; whether families, sport teams, or churches, find their core strength in the commitment they have toward one another.  Marriage and families are built upon the very fabric of commitment.  Where commitment is lacking or withheld, weakness will soon show itself for sure.  It is no different in the church.

A Contemporary Value

Church membership did not exist in the biblical era.  It didn't need to.  When the early Christians made a commitment to Christ, their whole lives changed.  New believers were suddenly shunned by the community.  If businessmen, they went bankrupt.  Persecution was prevalent.  They demonstrated it by the deep sacrifices made at the moment of decision.

We live in a different era.  People can attend church their whole lives without ever truly becoming a Christian.  Membership is the method we have chosen to identify those who are committed to Christ, this ministry, and this body of believers.

The Difference Membership Makes

• Ministry Team positions are open to your participation

• Experience the joy of demonstrated commitment to the Church Family

• Opportunities abound for teaching and leadership roles

• Participate in decisions and directions of this ministry

The Member Commitment

I affirm my commitment to Jesus Christ and promise to nurture my relationship with God through consistent prayer, worship, fellowship, and Bible study.

I commit myself to the objectives of this church and pledge my cooperation to the Pastors, Board of Directors, and all those God has called into position of leadership.

I commit my time, talents and treasures to God to be used for His glory in the building up of His church.
