Membership
An Active member is:
- anyone who professes Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord,
- who is truly sorry for sin,
- who seeks to live in loving obedience to Him through His Word,
- who is committed to building up the body of Christ in both word and deed,
- whose profession has been received and approved by the Elders of the Church.
Therefore, an active member freely binds him or herself to First Christian Reformed Church, honoring and submitting to its authority, and sharing faithfully in its worship, discipleship, and witness.
Genuine membership, therefore, means that a person has a genuine interest in developing Christ-centered relationships, in using his/her gifts in ministry, and has a vested interest in the future well-being of the congregation.
