Membership is always available for those who want to become a part of the Church of God and Saints of Christ. It is an important step in identifying with and embracing a church home. Becoming a member means that after accepting Christ as your savior, water baptism, and the acceptance of the Holy Spirit as your guide, you are now ready to embrace the doctrine, vision, and practices of the church. Being a member means that you are part of a community...a family that is there to love you, support you, pray for you, and build you up.
We are most like Jesus when we serve. We each have a God-given gift to be used in service to others. Whether you are good with words, people, technology, children, outreach or any other skills, you can find a place to do something you love. There are numerous opportunities to serve and many ways that you can make a difference. If you are ready to serve, you can speak with the pastor of your local church.
As believers, we should always seek to grow more in the Lord. Building that relationship is what will keep us close to God and give us that strong desire to be more like Him. Reading and studying your Bible, attending worship services, prayer, surrounding yourself with those of like mind, seeking God's guidance, and growing in faith are all ways to continue in growth. Remember to witness and share the joy of the Lord with others, encouraging them to build a life with Christ as well. That is our responsibility as believers.
God has offered us the most beautiful gift, the gift of salvation. It’s not something we can earn by our own goodness or efforts. It is given to us from God through belief in His son, Jesus. Accepting Jesus into your life is the best decision your will ever make. Through a relationship with Jesus, you are offered hope, joy, grace, mercy, and the gift of eternal life.
