One of the things that has marked Baptists out from other church denominations, right from our beginnings in the seventeenth century, has been our understanding of Church Membership. Membership in the local church should be one of the most fulfilling aspects of your Christian walk.
What Is Church Membership...?
Church membership at Christchurch Baptist Church is a meaningful commitment to Christ and to one another - not simply joining an organisation. It's for believers who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour, been baptised as believers, and want to grow in faith, serve others and live in a way that honours God. Members share in worship, prayer, fellowship, pastoral support and discipleship, using their gifts to help the church fulfil its mission.
Membership also brings the privilege and responsibility of helping shape the life of the church. Members are encouraged to attend services and meetings, support the church’s vision through prayer, giving and service, and care for one another. At Members’ Meetings, the church seeks God’s guidance together on important decisions, including ministry, finances and leadership.
