A few Sundays ago I led a Membership Class for those interested in learning more about SCFBC and what we expect from our members. At the end of the class seven people checked the option “Sign me up. I want to become a member.”

What a joy to see those new to our church family make a decision to become dedicated members. For our church to effectively carry out Christ’s Great Commission to lead irreligious people into becoming growing disciples we need people willing to firmly commit to Christ and His church.

Our Membership Covenant pulls no punches in its expectations. It reads as follows:

1. I WILL MAINTAIN THE UNITY OF MY CHURCH

  • by acting in love toward other members
  • by refusing to gossip
  • by supporting the leadership

2. I WILL FACILITATE THE GROWTH OF MY CHURCH

  • by praying for its growth
  • by inviting the unchurched to attend
  • by warmly welcoming those who visit

3. I WILL SERVE THE MINISTRY OF MY CHURCH

  • by discovering my gifts and talents
  • by being equipped to serve by my pastors
  • by developing a servant’s heart that is “Here to Serve”

4. I WILL SUPPORT THE TESTIMONY OF MY CHURCH

  • by attending regularly
  • by living a Godly life
  • by giving regularly

Are you ready to make these commitments to the SCFBC family? Join us as we serve God together.
