Membership

Why membership?

It's because church is a group of people who join together intentionally to be a church as described in the New Testament.  And membership is the way you learn what our understanding of the New Testament is, what our intentions are, and it's the way you express that you want to be a part.

There's four steps in our membership process.

First, attend three membership classes. These last around 90 minutes, and give you a chance to get to know us and to discuss the membership materials you will be reading and/or listening to online.  Dates for upcoming classes are published in the Sunday bulletin.

Second, read and/or listen to the ten-part membership series called "Doctrines, Passions, and Practices of Mercy Hill Church."  These are all online (links below).

Third, read the Essential Beliefs for Mercy Hill Church Membership and read and sign the Mercy Hill Church Membership Statement, and give the Membership Statement to your home group leader or one of the elders.

Fourth, one of the elders will give you a call so he and his wife can meet you and hear more of your story and learn about any particular prayer needs you might have.

Here are the links for the "Doctrines, Passions, and Practices" material:
