Church Membership

This weekend is All Family Sunday. We will be taking a break from our Corinthians series and this week look at the topic of church membership. Though I have taught on this topic a couple of times at The Village, we still get questions about whether or not we have membership, how someone becomes a member, and what it means to be a church member. However, in our day one of the biggest thoughts regarding church membership is, "I'm a Christian, why do I need to join a specific church?" It seems to me that the right thing to do is open the Word of God during one of our gatherings and highlight this aspect of Christian life.

Church membership, though not specifically named, is implicitly implied in the New Testament of the Bible. Church membership aids your growth in the Christian life, unifies your life with other believers, helps you guard against temptation and sin, and glorifies God as you walk more fully embracing his design for Christian life. If you have had questions about becoming a member at The Village Church, this is a weekend you don’t want to miss. I’ll highlight much of what this looks like biblically and practically. I'll see you Sunday!

Grace & Peace,
John
