Membership helps the staff identify the people we can trust to lead and care for others.
Membership signifies that a person has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that he/she is willing to go public with that faith through baptism.
Membership signifies one's willingness to support this ministry with his or her time, talents, and treasure, and to be held accountable to the values of NPCC. With the added requirement of participation on a strategic service team or in a community group, it also signifies that the person will partner with us in our strategy of "Foyer to Kitchen".
Why is it important to be a member in order to be in a leadership role?
Because of what membership represents, members are the most qualified people to be in a leadership position.
Often, if people are not willing to be held accountable, to go public with their faith through baptism, or to commit to leading people into a relationship with Jesus Christ, it can be an indication that they are not ready to lead others within the church environments.
What does membership indicate?
Partnering with the church helps lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Members can draw great satisfaction from knowing that they are instrumental in leading others into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Those people who want to join the church seem to understand the paradigm shift of "What do I get?" to "What can I give?"
What are the prerequisites to become a member?
Have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Have been baptized SINCE accepting Christ.
Are willing to support this ministry with time, talents, and treasure and are willing to be held accountable to the church in matters concerning relationship to God and to others.
Be involved in community through a community group, starting point, and/or serving on a strategic service team.
What is a strategic service team?
Strategic service teams are groups of volunteers who serve within the church. Volunteers are vital to North Point and we look to them to facilitate and potentially lead the environments we have created to help lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
I want to join the church, but I do not want to be in a community group or serve on a strategic service team. I do not have time to be in a community group or serve. Why is it so important to be in a community group or serve on a strategic service team?
Membership here is not just having your name on a list. Being a member indicates a willingness to partner and potentially lead with us in our mission to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
We believe that life change happens best through community. A community group is the best environment to open God's Word together, pray together, grow together, be held accountable, be cared for, and experience being part of a family.
Because authentic community and strategic service are two of our seven core values , we want our members to partner with us in achieving these.
