At LifePoint, we recognize the need for formal membership, and offer the opportunity to individuals to identify with LifePoint through membership. The difference between being an attender and being a member can be summed up in one word – commitment. We invite individuals to commit to membership in our church for four reasons:
1. A Biblical Reason: Christ is committed to the church and it shows obedience to what He is committed to.
2. A Cultural Reason: It is an antidote to our society. We live in an age where very few people want to be committed to anything … a job, a marriage, a church, a country. This attitude has produced a generation of church shoppers and church hoppers. They hop around from one church to another every week. Membership swims against the current of America’s consumer religion. It is an unselfish decision. Commitment always builds character.
3. A Practical Reason: It defines who can be counted on.
4. A Personal Reason. Membership produces spiritual growth.
In Membership 101, we focus on some of the specific qualities of ministry at LifePoint, as well as the benefits of church membership. If you’re interested in becoming a member at LifePoint, or if you’re simply interested in seeing some of the “behind the scenes” operation at LifePoint, join us on Sunday, February 18 at 1 pm. If you have questions or want more information, contact the LifePoint office here: info@lifepointministries.net or call us at 641-342-2334.
