1. Connecting BAPTISM and MEMBERSHIP

It only makes sense that if a person would want to identify himself to the person of Christ, that he would want to identify himself to the people of Christ. Baptized individuals have characteristics in common with each other that would naturally attract them to each other.

Those identifiable characteristics are:

• Your obedience to Christ’s command to be baptized.
• The courage you exercised to put your faith stake in the ground.
• A heightened awareness of your responsibility to live out your faith.
  
• The identifiable mark of discipleship in Baptism.

Gathering together with others who have identified themselves “to a watching world who needs to know”, is where the concept of membership begins.

I trust that the following material will help you discover the value of membership.
