You Have a Duty to Join the Church

Join the Church and serve her
Join the Church and Submit to her
Join the Church and Separate from Non-believers

Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ: Don’t stay away from the church! Join her and attend her worship services faithfully. Thank God for his blessings. Submit to the teaching and discipline of the elders. Work hard, using your gifts, for the good of the other Christians. Accept the help of other Christians. Call others into Christ’s church by teaching them God’s Word about who they are, what God has done for them, and how they could get the benefits of Christ. Remember, membership is not only a privilege; it is a responsibility as well. Don’t be an “island,” but a part of the community of believers.
