About·Church membership
In the Bible we see that “the Lord added to the church those who were being saved” (Acts 2:47).
God intends every believer to be added to a local church, because every believer has been blessed with gifts and talents designed to add to the ministry of a local church.
At Every Nation London we believe membership is expressed through actions, not just by signing a form. Members of Every Nation are those who have decided to follow Christ and to live a life which expresses our values, for example:
Reaching
- By living a life that honours God and is a witness for him.
- By investing in friendships with Christians and non-Christians alike.
- By praying for those who don’t know Christ and sharing the hope we have in him.
Connecting
- By finding friends and being a friend to others.
- By regular attendance at weekly worship services.
- By being part of community in a connect group or similar.
Empowering
- By growing as a disciple as you receive Jesus Christ, are baptised, filled with the Holy Spirit, and build a personal relationship with God.
- By laying foundations and getting equipped by resources like the Purple Book and Bible School.
- By growing in freedom in Christ through tools like Victory Weekends.
Transforming
- By serving with your time and talents in an area of ministry.
- By supporting a vision to transform our local community.
- By giving money regularly and generously to support the vision.
Reproducing
- By helping others grow in faith and leadership.
- By seeking to discover your calling and grow in leadership.
- By supporting a church vision to plant other congregations.
