Membership For Maximum GrowthCONTACT Pastor Vern at vernb@llcf.org for info on becoming a member. At LLCF we are not confused about church membership. If you have become a follower of Jesus Christ you ARE a member of God's one true church. God has one church made up of all followers of Jesus throughout the world. However, it is important that you are COMMITTED to a local expression of the church of Jesus. Membership in a local church is the way to demonstrate that commitment. Maximum spriitual growth happens when a person commits themselves to love, give, submit, and serve in a local church family. TO BECOME A MEMBER OF LLCF: We want people to understand some essential truths about LLCF before they commit to be a member of LLCF. Therefore we require them to take LIFE 101 and then to make a commitment to 7 Biblical Requirements for True Christians - Baptism, Witnessing, Worship, Giving, Serving, Fellowship, Growing. Members select the Leadership Council at our yearly members meeting. Only Members are eligible to serve on the Leadership Council and in certain positions of ministry in the church. Members are the legal corporation of Light & Life and as such they vote on legal matters pertaining to the church.

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? |
