Membership.
At Hosea Church, we believe all Christians are called to devote themselves to a local church in order to grow in spiritual maturity and contribute to the making of disciples of all nations (Acts 2:42-47; Eph. 4:11-14; Matt. 28:19-20).
A Christian becomes a true “member” of the greater body of Christ upon true salvation, which is not determined by men (1 Cor 12:12-13). However, becoming a known member at a local church allows for Christians to effectively function as a part of the body and live out their devotion to God in a clear and tangible way (1 Cor 12:14-27). We desire to be a church full of members who are growing in unity and count one another as more significant than themselves (Phil. 2:1-4).
How does one become a member at Hosea?
1. Start coming to our Sunday Services and experience what our local church is like.
2. Attend our Membership Series classes (see below).
3. Be baptized as a follower of Jesus if you have not been already.
4. Review and complete the Membership Commitment Form.
5. Meet with a Pastor to discuss what Jesus has done in your life and why you desire membership.
6. Be approved for membership.
7. Be welcomed into membership by the church.
