A Church is a Home, and You Are Welcome Here!
Being a member of a church means you not only have a community to fellowship with, but you are also a member of a family. You have a home that you are welcome in, which reflects the gospel. The Word of God reveals to us that membership in a local body of believers is vital for our growth as well as our walk with Christ.
Church membership is spoken of in the metaphor of the body of Christ.
“The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together” (1 Corinthians 12:21-26, ESV).
