Church Membership

We are all necessary parts of the whole.

1 Cor. 12 - Paul gives us a metaphor of the church being one body with many members.

1 Cor. 13 - Love between members in the body becomes the central attitude and action for all members.

1 Cor. 14 - He focuses on how the church at Corinth had it all wrong.

You see membership is about relationship with one another before God.

When you choose to become a member you are formalizing that this is your church family. Within that family there are relationships.
