Membership Announcement

Now today we are also publicly introducing these two dear saints as new members who are identifying HCF as their local church.

To this end I am asking you, Nick and Clair Hunt, to affirm the following: I affirm that I am a member of the Body of Christ by grace through faith in Christ alone and I am publicly identifying with Heritage Christian Fellowship as my local church. I recognize the Bible as God’s only written Word and sole authority for my faith and practice and I will abide by it. I will submit to the leadership of the Elders of Heritage Christian Fellowship.

Will you know both acknowledge your commitment to this statement by stepping forward before the congregation and remaining here for the reading of our commitment to you and for prayer?

The Elders and members of HCF are committed to the spiritual wellbeing of you new members. We Elders commit ourselves to provide teaching, oversight and be examples to you. And the members of this church commit to lovingly encouraging and admonishing you in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen church? Let’s pray

Prayer - Lord God we praise you for you have called us and set us apart by your temple and your body. You have made us the household of faith, the flock of the Good Shepherd, the branches of the true vine. And Lord we come to you today praising and thanking you that you have justified these new members of your body in your blood at the cross, that you have regenerated their hearts and given the gift of faith, and that you have filled their hearts with the conviction and commitment to proclaim this day your great salvation and identify themselves of be members of your church. May you continue to move them to greater heights of love, service and dedication to the fellow members of this church, to the teaching of your word and to the exaltation of your Glory. We pray this in your holy name, Amen
