Membership

You may be wondering, “Does it matter that I officially join the church?” We believe that, not only does it matter, but becoming a member of a local church is a vital part of the growth of every follower of Christ. Church Membership is not committing to an organization, rather it is committing to a family of believers. One of the natural responses to receiving the Gospel and being adopted into the family of God is a desire to love and serve and be around the family of God. Committing yourself to a body of believers is weighty, but it is also wonderful. When Shepherd Bible Church members join, they commit to a spiritual family that provides encouragement and support. All of our members are called to a biblical degree of responsibility, service and sacrifice to our brothers and sisters. Our elders and leaders also pledge to assist our Members with care, counsel, prayer, and teaching; and they will give an account to the Lord for their faithfulness to that task.
