Expectations of Members

This fall Session and Staff studied The Missional Church through the text, “Shaped by God’s Heart," by Milfred Minatrea. In it he writes, “Authentic discipleship is costly – it accepts responsibilities…Missional churches are high-threshold churches; they clearly communicate the responsibilities of church membership.” At it’s November meeting, session has adopted the following as expectations of members. They are as follows:

  • Acknowledge and embrace your faith, living your life in the name and love of Jesus Christ.
  • Attend worship services regularly.
  • Contribute financially to the operation and ministries of this church.
  • Live the mission and vision of the church. 
  • Serve this church and the community by listening to how God is calling you to participate.
  • Be hospitable and inclusive to new members and guest.
  • Continue to grow in faith through participation, education, volunteerism, mission and fellowship.
