MEMBERSHIP

Becoming a member at Bible Fellowship Church is an important decision.

Why Does Membership Matter?

  1. Committing yourself to a body of believers is a very important and Biblical step to take (1 Corinthians 12:7-20; 1 Peter 4:10).
  2. Membership to a local body gives us the opportunity to support one another (John 13:35), encourage one another in our walk of faith (Hebrews 10:24-25), and to inspire one another to continue doing good works until Jesus returns (Titus 3:1, 8, 14).
  3. When members of a local church body go into a covenant with one another, to not only commit to encourage, pray for, and serve one another, something very powerful takes place within the local church ... we actually "shine" as lights to the watching world (Matthew 5:14-16).
  4. Membership also makes a statement to others that we are "all in" when it comes to fulfilling the vision of Bible Fellowship Church, which is to love God, love one another, and make disciples.

Why Membership Matters

Our Distinctives

From the very beginning, the foundation at Bible Fellowship Church has been to know Jesus and make Him known. The way we do this is by pursuing the the three great callings that Jesus has given to His church. 1. We pursue the Great Commandment -- Love God (Mark 12:3), 2. We obey the New Commandment -- Love One Another (John 13:34), and 3. We fulfill the Great Commission -- Make Disciples (Matthew 28:19).

 

1. LOVE GOD

  • We Worship God together as a Body of Believers in Sunday Morning Worship Services
  • We Receive Expositional teaching from God’s Word

 

2. LOVE ONE ANOTHER  

  • We build Christ-centered relationships with one another
  • We study the Word of God with one another
  • We grow spiritually with one another
  • We pray with and for one another

 

3. MAKE DISCIPLES

  • We are purposeful and intentional in building relationships with people in our church, neighborhoods, community, and the world so that everyone has the opportunity to find out about and recieve God's free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
  • We invest time and other resources to reach out and help other Christ-followers and Christian Organizations expand their circles of influence to tell people about the love of God locally and throughout the world.

 

By remaining committed to these key distinctives, God has kept Bible Fellowship Church biblically grounded and spiritually growing over the past four decades as we have ministered to the San Jacinto Valley and to the ends of the earth.
