Because so many of us are coming from such a variety of backgrounds, we feel it is important to explain
what “membership” means at Living Way Fellowship.
In the New Testament, a local church is far more than a brick and mortar building that people go to for worship.
Instead, the church is described as the spiritual body of Christ, which is made up of everyone who believes in Jesus
Christ as their Lord and Savior. Church membership should reflect one’s membership in Christ’s universal fellowship.
If you aren’t quite sure that you have surrendered your life to Jesus through personal faith in Him, then you might
want to meet with one of our Pastors to discuss this further.
Finally, membership calls for a consistent application of God’s truth to everyday life. Certainly none of us will
ever come near perfection until the Lord returns. However, a disciple of Jesus is one who consistently strives to
conform to the will of God.
If you find yourself not yet ready to give something up which you know is less than pleasing to the Lord, or if you are
living together outside of marriage, we would request that you postpone membership at this time. Remember, membership is not a
requirement for worshipping and fellowshipping with us at LWF!
If you are interested in becoming a member of LWF, you may do so by attending our Introduction to LWF Class. This class is offered 3 times each year and covers such topics as the uniqueness of the Bible, church history, and where we (as a church) fit into all of this. There will also be an opportunity for you to learn about the different ministry outreaches of LWF.
