I Want To Be Great - Part 4 - Even When It's Hard

Membership here is not just having a name on a list. Being a member indicates a willingness to partner and potentially lead with us in our mission to lead people in a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that life change happens best through community groups, or Life Groups. A Life Group is the best environment to open God's Word together, pray together, grow together, be held accountable, be cared for, and experience being part of a "family". Because mutual accountability in our relationship with God and service to each other are our core values, we want our members to partner with us in achieving these.
The first step in our strategic approach to membership is an informational luncheon called NEXT. At NEXT we will feed you, inform you and spend time getting to know each other. Our Pastor and staff will be present to talk to you about the mission, vision, and strategy, as well as, various ministries and opportunities at FBC. NEXT is held on a Sunday afternoon immediately following our worship service for both convenience and in order to provide childcare. At the end of the luncheon, you'll have a bird's eye view of our church's mission, strategy and ministries.
In many churches, the process of church membership is often handled exclusively in the large group context of the worship service. But we do it a little differently around here. Once you've attended NEXT, look through the special information packet you received. There will find a membership form to complete. Once completed, return it to the office and we'll contact you to finalize the membership process. It's that simple.
