MEMBERSHIP has its reasons, benefits, and responsbilities. Becoming a member of the Church of Jesus Christ happens when a person trusts Christ as their Savior and is born again by the power of the Holy Spirit. No other membership is essential. Every person who has done this is a member of the capital C Church. Becoming a member of the LOCAL church (the small c church) is different. Every Christian needs a healthy church and a healthy pastor. The local church forms the family, the accountability group, and the team on which the Christian serves to help win the lost to Christ. The Pastor serves as the leader who helps to feed, care for, and protect the believers of local church. The local church gives believers a setting in which to operate the gifts the Spirit has given to them. What are the requirements for Membership in Light & Life?
