| questions and answers |
1. What is Membership?
Membership is a defining moment for each of us as we formally 'step out of the stands' and publicly affirm a commitment to a local church.
2. What am I Committing to if I Become a Member?
In a general sense, you are simply committing to the fact that you want to grow in your walk with Christ through being a part of the community at Bethany Chapel. As well, you are saying that you agree with the vision, values, direction and leadership structure of this body and you will use your gifts in ministry to help accomplish the vision. These are the specific statements that all members agree with as set out in the Membership Covenant.
As a participating member I will commit to:
- Protect the unity of my church.
- Use my gifts to serve the ministry of my church.
- Support the testimony of my church.
- Seek to be a fully devoted follower of Christ.
- Submit to the Elders of my church.
- Tithe faithfully to my church.
