Membership at Journey Church

"For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body."
—1 Corinthians 12:12 - 13

What is Membership?

At Journey Church, we believe that church membership is not just a formality, it's a covenant. It's a way to publicly align yourself with the vision, mission and spiritual covering of this house. When you become a member, you're declaring that God has planted you here—and that you're ready to grow, serve, and thrive in community.

Journey Church membership is a sacred commitment. It means you're choosing to live your faith out loud in a Spirit-filled, Bible-believing church. It means you want to be discipled, held accountable, equipped and empowered to walk in your God-given calling.

This isn't just about attending church. It's about being the Church
"The whole congregation of believers was united as one—one heart, one mind!"
—Acts 4:32 (MSG)

Why Does Membership Matter?

When you were born again, you were spiritually adopted into God's family. But every believer is called to be joined to a local body for accountability, leadership, ministry, and growth. The Bible makes it clear: we are one body with many members—and every member is essential.

Membership at Journey Church is a powerful step of obedience that:
  • Grounds you in sound doctrine and biblical authority
  • Places you under spiritual leadership and covering
  • Connects you to opportunities to grow and serve
  • Protects the church legally and ethically
  • Aligns your gifts with God's house
  • Says, "I'm not just attending—I'm all in."

How Do I become a Member?

We're so glad you're interested in becoming a part of what God is doing here at Journey Church!
