Significance of Membership....
Membership says,
"I belong here," and God says that believers belong together.

"I accept responsibility for how things are done here,"and God says that's how it should be.
I Corinthians 12: 20-27
Members elect deacons and approve an annual ministry budget, as well as call pastors or serve as our spiritual leaders. Every member has a say in shaping our church's direction and ministry goals.
"We share the same ministry goals,"and God Says that believers are to be committed to one another for the sake of spiritual impact
