West Point Presbyterian Church (PCUSA)

What Membership Means... 1. Membership means, “I belong here.” In turn God says that believers belong together (Hebrews 10:23-25). If you sense that God wants you here at West Point Presbyterian Church at this time in your life, and you want to make a public declaration that you’re committed to God’s work through this church, membership is the next step. 2. Membership means, “We share the same ministry goals.” God says that believers are to be committed to one another in a community for the sake of spiritual impact (Ephesians 4:6). If you believe that Jesus has a work to do through the West Point congregation and you are willing to commit with others to see that it gets done, membership is the next step. 3. Membership means, “I accept that I am part of a community within the family of God.” God wants you to belong (Galatians 6:1,2,10). If you want to be part of a caring network of people, sharing one another’s joys and sorrows, helping one another grow, being comforted and strengthened, membership is the next step. 4. Membership means, “I am accountable to the local community of faith for my walk with God.” God warns against spiritual autonomy (Matthew 18:15-20). If you don’t want to be alone in your stand for Jesus Christ, and want to receive the guidance, equipping, and teaching necessary to stay on target, membership is the next step. 5. Membership means, “I will submit to the leadership God has placed over me.” God directs, that this is the correct thing to do (Hebrews 13:17; 1 Corinthians 16:15,16). If you want to join with the West Point Presbyterian Church leadership in the building up of this local church, membership is the next step.
