The phrase "church membership" never appears in the Bible...so do Christians really need to formally join a local church?

In this episode, we look at the biblical case for church membership and why simply attending church may not be the same as truly belonging to one. We discuss commitment, accountability, serving, giving, regularly gathering, submitting to church leadership, and using your spiritual gifts within the body of Christ.

We also talk about how consumer Christianity can turn church into something we simply attend when it benefits us, rather than a family we commit ourselves to.

Church membership may not appear as a specific phrase in Scripture, but the New Testament gives us a clear picture of Christians who are known, committed, serving, accountable, and connected to a local body.
