How to Become a Member

WHY do you want to be a member?

Membership doesn’t change your status before God; it doesn’t even mean you’ll get a better parking space on Sundays!

Being a member is about you making a commitment to a local body of Christians, a commitment to serve, to work at your own spiritual growth and encourage others to do likewise and to be held personally accountable for your life in Christ.  It’s about recognizing that every man or woman who is a child of God is part of God’s family; not alone and not intended by God to live out our lives in isolation.

If you are interested in becoming a member or just finding out more, we run new member classes every year in March and September, Sunday morning during the second service. Attendance at 4 classes is required for church membership.  The first class will be an explanation of the Statement of Faith and Purpose, our doctrines, and membership qualifications and responsibilities. The second class and third classes involve presentations from ministry leaders to help you see where you can fit in. The fourth class is a brief overview of our church history and explanation of our accounts. At some point during the course, you will meet with an elder or deacon to share your testimony of faith in Jesus Christ.

If you know Christ as your personal Savior and can give evidence by word and life, and if you desire to live a consistent Christian life, then we will gladly receive you into membership. Please contact Pastor Kelly (kelly.jennaway@gbcmt.org) or 586-9782 ext. 16 for more information.
