Membership at Harvest

At Harvest, we believe church membership is important. It links you in commitment and in fellowship with a group of believers who are walking toward Christ-likeness together and holding each other accountable to the application of God's Truth in their lives. As followers of Christ, we are to worship Christ together, walk with Christ in community with other believers and work alongside each other in God's Kingdom work.

To become a member at Harvest, an individual recognizes and affirms the following membership commitments:

1) I have, by faith, become a follower of Jesus Christ and I have been baptized as a visible way of demonstrating that commitment.

2) I will, with God's help, seek to maintain my consistent disciplines of prayer, Bible study, quietness with God and worship attendance.

3) I will, with God's direction, pursue an active role in building up the body of Christ at Harvest Bible Chapel.

4) I will neither gossip nor listen to gossip concerning any member(s) of this body and will, when personally offended, speak directly and lovingly with those involved.

5) I will financially support the ministries of Harvest Bible Chapel by faithfully giving back to the Lord a biblical portion of my increase.

While the term of membership continues as long as the believer desires fellowship with Harvest Bible Chapel, the membership commitment will be renewed every two years at a special service for that purpose. The purpose of this renewal is to ensure that the believer's commitment to one another and to the ministry God has called us to is a genuine and continuing one.
