Membership
We have a high regard for membership. A member is an active, vital, and indispensable part of the whole body. Members speak with a clear and unified voice what they believe and why they believe it. Members:
- Fight for the faith (I Tim. 6:12; II Tim. 2:14-16)
- Strive for unity of faith (Eph. 4:1-6)
- Bear with one another and build each other up (I Cor. 12:12-26)
- Do the mission together (Acts 1:8)
The process of being a member includes a spiritual formation class, a covenant, and a public declaration before the community. Members receive priority in pastoral care and instruction. Membership is also a prerequisite for leadership within Reliant.
