Once each quarter we invite everyone who is new to
Evangel to a relaxed lunch at a local eatery with our ministry and
leadership teams. “Pizza with the Pastors,” we call it. It is a lot
of fun and allows us to get to know each other. It is free and
includes tokens for your kids to play games. Please
contact us if you would like more
information about registering for the next
Pizza with the Pastors.
One of the most frequently asked questions relating
to the topic of church membership is, “Why should I become a Member?
Can’t I just go to church and participate in all the activities
without having to make a commitment?”
The last word in that quote is the first reason to join the church —
COMMITMENT.
We ask you to commit to membership for 4 reasons:
1. A Biblical Reason:
Christ is committed to the church.
“ …Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her.” Ephesians
5:25
2. A Cultural Reason: It is an
antidote to a lack of commitment in our society.
We live in an age where very few want to be committed to
anything…job…marriage… church. This attitude has produced a
“consumer religion.” Becoming a member, on the other hand, is an
unselfish decision. Commitment like this builds character.
3. A Practical Reason: It defines who
can be counted on. Every team must have a roster. Every army has
an enlistment. Membership says you can count on me.
4. A Personal Reason: It produces
spiritual growth. The New Testament places a major emphasis on the
need for Christians to be accountable to each other for spiritual
growth. You cannot be accountable when you’re not committed to any
specific church family. Membership is a door of opportunity. A
door that leads to greater growth, identity and fulfillment.
To find out more about membership at Evangel, please
contact us to be included in the next
Evangel 101 membership class. This is where you’ll find out more
about us, why we do what we do, our beliefs, our vision and what is
expected of members.
