CHOSEN CHURCH MEMBERSHIP RESOURCES
In Matthew 16:18 Jesus said, "I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." If he is building the church, we want to build his church! Ephesians 5:25b says, Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…”
The Bible states, "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain that build it" and "God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose." We believe that God strategically leads people to be a part of a particular local church. Where they can be equipped to fulfill their purpose in God and multiply their strength and effectiveness in unity of purpose with other believers.
In the book of Acts people were saved then added to the church. As the early church grew many local churches were established in various cities. We are also called to "know them that labor among us" and church leaders are called to "Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care..." This means that the members know who the other members and leaders are and likewise the leaders know who is a part of their flock.
The scriptural pattern and biblical form of church government is a plurality of elders with a Lead Pastor who all qualify on the basis of 1 Timothy 3 in spiritual life, character, domestic life and leading ability. Every believer in Christ is called to be subject to God’s authority in a specific local church for spiritual protection, accountability and long-term fruitfulness (Hebrews 13:17).
