Lastly, 1 Corinthians describes sexual immorality occurring within a local gathering and the removal of the offender. Without membership, how are we to practice church discipline?

Also, Matthew states when a brother sins against you and does not listen after multiple witnesses address his fault, you are to involve the church. We believe that membership provides a clear process and path for care, correction, and restoration when a member is active in habitual sin.

Membership Matters Why is a local church important? Because we reflect the character of a trinitarian God, we were designed for community. We also get a new family.

And to not commit to this new, spiritual family as a member makes no more sense than not committing to our families here on earth.
