Church Membership Requirements
Becoming a Member
Membership in Grizzly Flats Community Church is open to anyone who professes personal faith in Christ for eternal salvation, who has signified this by water baptism after conversion and who shows evidence of having a new life in Christ. A prospective member must also be in agreement with the doctrinal position of GFCC.
A prospective member must contact an elder of GFCC and express a desire for membership. Any name submitted will be presented to the membership for consideration. Following the unanimous recommendation of the elders a person may be considered to be under the shepherding care of the elders and a recipient of the brotherly commitment of the whole membership for his personal growth and well being.
Responsibility of Members
Each member is responsible before God as a believer-priest to assist in determining the will of Christ for this local assembly under Christ. Each member must be involved in giving feedback to the church concerning personal needs and in sharing insights in areas where God’s will must be known for the church. Submission to the Lord in prayer and study of the Word is a necessity. In general each member will be responsible, to contribute to the body life of the church through the exercise of gifts (Eph. 4:12; 1 Pet. 4:10, 11). This calls for the regular participation in the life and services of the church. (Heb 10:24, 25; 1 Cor 16:1,2; II Cor. 8:3-5).
