FAQ
Although Scripture does not contain an explicit command to formally join a local church, the biblical foundation for church membership permeates the New Testament.
In order to join a local church someone should be: A Christian. Baptized. A regular attender. Someone who confesses the same faith as the church and is willing to live as a Christian together with the church. Willing to submit to the leadership of the church.
The lay member does this by formally requesting that the pastor of the church to which he or she is transferring ask for the proper letter or certificate of transfer from the former church. When the letter or certificate is sent, the lay person ceases to be a member of the former local church.
A Church Membership Certificate is a document that is used to certify and verify the membership of one of your church associates.
