Why Become a Member?
We ask believers to become members for 4 reasons:
A Biblical Reason:
Christ is committed to the church
(Ephesians 5:25)
A Cultural Reason:
It is an antidote to our society. We live in an age where very few want to be committed to anything…a job, a marriage, our country. This attitude has even produced a generation of “church shoppers and hoppers”. Becoming a committed member swims against the current of America’s “consumer religion”. It is an unselfish decision. Commitment always builds character.
A Practical Reason:
It defines who can be counted on. Every team must have a roster. Every school must have an enrollment. Every army has an enlistment. Even our country takes a census and requires voter registration. Your connection as a member identifies our family.
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.
(Galatians 6:1-2; Hebrews 10:24-25; Ephesians 5:21)
· It provides a place to use your spiritual gifts. (1 Corinthians 12:4-27)
· It places you under spiritual protection of Godly leaders. (Hebrews 13:7, 17;
Acts 20:28-29)
What are the requirements to become a member of Discovery Christian Church?
We only have one requirement to become a member of DCC. All that we ask is that the person be a baptized (immersed) believer in Christ.
