DECLARATION:
Ephesians 2:20–22 (ESV)
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
SVCC is built by God, upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, and with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone.
We are joined together by union with Christ, we are growing, and we are a dwelling place of God by his Spirit.

A metaphor for Jesus, leaders, and all God’s people.
Polity & Governance - The Foursquare Church has a modified Episcopal form of government.
Opening Scripture:
Leaders of God’s flock are appointed by the Holy Spirit
Submission to human authority and to God opens the door for Holy Spirit empowerment
2nd Jerusalem council:
NLT:
Foursquare has an appointment system!

"We want pastors who are free from political manipulations to follow God” (Source: Coaching Guide)
Local Church Membership is being submitted to the community and being submitted to accountability
Submission = Commitment
Four Commitments of Church Membership:
(Our Membership Covenant)
1.
I will serve the ministry of my church
(ministry to God, one another, and the world)
2. I will protect the unity of my church
(prayer, stop complaining, see a need and fill it)
3. I will share the responsibility of my church by participating regularly and giving regularly
(Sunday gatherings, community groups, events, offerings for tithe and missions)
4. I will support the Articles, Bylaws, and Beliefs of the Foursquare Church
(appointment system for Sr. Pastor with local advisory council for assets)
Conclusion/Reflection:
Are you willing to submit to a congregation for the purpose of community and accountability?
Are you willing to commit or renew your commitment to our SVCC congregation?
