Notes From Pastor James Chambers

In our discussion, we brought up church membership. In The Master's Fellowship Guide, this is our statement on this topic. While all united to Christ by faith immediately become a part of the universal

church, the Lord desires His followers to live out that relationship by means of a formal commitment to membership in a visible, local church. Such congregations of believers have joined together under the oversight of qualified elders for the worship of the Lord, the discipleship and edification of the saints, the practice of the ordinances, and to be equipped to evangelize the lost (Rom 12:3–6; 1 Cor 12:12ff; Eph 4:11–16). Given Scripture’s prescriptions for church government, corrective discipline, and mutual love and service, there must be a reciprocal commitment of membership between the believer and the local church: the church commits to protect and care for the believer, and the believer commits to submit to the teaching, oversight, and discipline of the church (1 Thess 5:12–13; 1 Tim 5:17–18; Heb 13:17).
