What is church membership?
Belonging to a New Testament church is a voluntary statement of both faith in Jesus Christ and of love for his people. It is a formal partnership between believers to support the Lord's work though the local church by giving of time, talent, and treasure. At Elm Grove, we believe membership matters and would love to answer your questions about joining our body.
Feel free to contact the pastor or the church office to set up a time to discuss church membership.
