When an individual is saved, he becomes a member of the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13). Because he is united to Christ and the other members of the body in this way, he is therefore qualified to become member of a local expression of that body.

To become a member of a church is to formally commit oneself to an identifiable, local body of believers who have joined together for specific, divinely ordained purposes. These purposes include receiving instruction from God’s Word (1 Tim. 4:13; 2 Tim. 4:2), serving and edifying one another through the proper use of spiritual gifts (Rom. 12:3-8; 1 Cor. 12:4-31; 1 Pet. 4:10-11), participating in the ordinances (Luke 22:19; Acts 2:38-42), and proclaiming the gospel to those who are lost (Matt. 28:18- 20). In addition, when one becomes a member of a church, he submits himself to the care and the authority of the biblically qualified elders that God has placed in that assembly.

And it is he who gifted some to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists, and still others to be pastors and teachers, to equip[e] the saints, to do the work of ministry, and to build up the body of the Messiah. Ephesians 4:11-12.

The role of the Pastor is to teach and equip the saints for the work of ministry.

We believe in following the model of Jesus by serving others and the church. Everything we do relies on the time and effort of the people that come to church and events. Serving is also a great way to feel part of the church family and collectively build a strong community. There are lots of different ways you can help out. JOIN A TEAM. We’re always looking for people to serve and minister in various ways.
