How to become a member of New Hope International Church
"Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” --Romans 12:4–5
As Christians, we are members of God's household (Ephesians 2:19) called to function, participate, and minister in a particular place within the body of Christ. A healthy body requires that each member do its part well. For this reason, New Hope holds its members in high regard.
God, in His sovereignty, placed us in this city, among these people, in this century, for a reason (Acts 17:26–27). New Hope members are servants who are passionate about imitating Jesus and reaching people with His love. Members also serve within the church: during Sunday services, as small group leaders, as teachers, on prayer teams, offering support to the sick and needy, showing hospitality, and on and on.
Being a member of New Hope is really about being part of a family. Members who enter into a covenant with their local church are called to a higher degree of responsibility and service. At the same time, the elders, pastors and deacons are covenanted to assist members first and foremost, to love and lead, provide counsel and aid, as well as to pray for, teach, and guide.
I want to be a member: What should I do?
1) Become active in church activities. Demonstrate your love for the church by volunteering. Go to the church website (www.newhic.org) to learn about the ways you can serve at New Hope.
2) Make yourself known. Don’t keep your life to yourself. Join Care Group and get with other people to grow together in maturity, leadership, and love.
3) Get on a mission.
