Membership

Membership is an important part of the life of the church and of the individual (Rom. 12:4-5). Church unity seems to be an incredible concern for Paul, as he continually taught to "endeavor to keep the unity" of the Church and to function as "members" of the same body...with Jesus as the head. In our day, Church membership is just as vital to the spiritual development of believers, the care of the community, and the further progress of the gospel. It does seem that in Denver culture the idea of Church membership is met with a putrid reluctance. This may because of the irrelevant function that membership has had over many years. It may, however, have to do with the resistance of individuals to be seen as "being a part of" a church. Whether a given church is worthy of someone's membership is debatable, but the neglecting or refusal to become united (and therefore a member) to any church if forbidden in Scripture (Heb. 10:25).

 

Rather, membership is a glorious gift from God that allows His people to function as they were intended. The benefits of membership is numerous, not only to the individual member, but also to the church in general and the community as well. By submitting to Jesus as head of His body called the "church", we enter into a family of God's children that function as His agent of life change with everyone they come in contact. The member is a part of this body (like and arm or leg) that is to function as God's means for change in this world. This change is the renewal of all things (Rev. 21:5), and is accomplished by those who unite themselves as members of His body (John 15:4).

 

Membership at High View Church is an easy but important process. Membership should not be burdensome because those who are believers are already members of the universal church...they just need to function in a local church in order to practically further the gospel. However, membership should not be taken lackadaisically because of the blood that Jesus shed to purchase His bride  the "church", and therefore should be protected against predators. It is with that in mind that the Elders of HV have implemented a simple process for members. Below is the process of becoming a member of High View Church:
