Church Membership Covenant:

As a believer in Jesus Christ and having accepted Him as my Savior and having followed Him in baptism, I believe that God is calling me to become a member of the body of believers at Western Hills Church (See Acts 2:42).

As a member of Western Hills Church I agree to abide by the following membership covenant:

I will protect the unity of my church by acting in love toward other members, by refusing to gossip, slander, or cast doubt on the character of another member, and I will submit to the authority of the leadership appointed by the church. (See Romans 15:5, 19; I Peter 1:22; Ephesians 4:29; Hebrews 13:17.)
I will share in the responsibility of my church to make disciples of Jesus Christ. (Thessalonians 1:2; Luke 14:23; Romans 15:17)
I will serve the ministry of my church by using my gifts and talents, by being equipped to serve, and by developing a servant’s heart. (I Peter 4:10; Ephesians 4:11-12; Philippians 2:3-4,7)
I will support the testimony of my church by attending faithfully and living a Godly life. (Hebrews 10:25; Philippians 1:27).
I will do my part financially to support the church by giving regularly and sacrificially. (I Corinthians 16:1-2; Leviticus 27:30; 1 Timothy 5:17-18)
I accept and agree to follow the discipline (conflict resolution) process of Western Hills Church as described in Article X. (Matthew 18:15-20; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Timothy 5:19-20)
