Church Membership Is Important!
At Upwards Church, we value membership. To us, Upwards is more than a platform for preaching and furthering the gospel--we're a community of believers. As believers, we are to live out our Christian lives in the context of the local church. In the same way that the physical body has different, interconnected members, Paul tells us that we are "members one of another." While you could remain a guest of Upwards or even a regular attender of our weekend services, the real value of Upwards begins with membership. Membership implies a commitment to the Upwards family. It's your way of saying, "Count on me!" In turn, we promise to commit Upwards resources to meet your spiritual needs. That's our way of saying, "You can count on us!"
Joining Upwards Church allows you to be a part of a powerful kingdom community and receive the blessings of being a member. The prerequisites of becoming a member is that you've completed previous next steps such as, commitment to Christ, Baptism, commitment to God's word, attending Upwards Church regularly, giving, connected in a group and/or serving in a ministry, and commitment to grow in following Christ.
