Membership

Membership at GCC means joining with other believers in our local assembly to participate in the life of the church not as a consumer or spectator, but as an active participant who practices the "one anothers" of the New Testament.  Church membership is not about prestige or possessing an honorary title; it’s about identifying oneself to world as a Christian and living out the call of Christian discipleship in a specific community.

Membership is open to any person who has trusted in Christ alone as Savior and Lord, who has been baptized as a believer, and who desires to be committed to the church as a local body of believers.

In the New Testament we see Christians who assemble together regularly to

• Build one another up in Christ (Hebrews 10:23-25)
• Encourage one another regularly (Hebrews 3:12-14)
• Partner in the proclamation of the Gospel to lost people (Matthew 28:18-20)
• Protect each other from sin (James 5:19-20)
• Guard the church from hypocrisy (Matthew 18:15-18)
• Be built up by the regular teaching of God’s Word through gifted teachers (Hebrews 13:17).
