Membership Class: Belonging at NPC
Led by Chris Hodge
2012
Friday, May 18 (6:30-9:00 pm with dinner) and Saturday, May 19
(8:30-11:30 am)
Membership Class at our church is a two part course (Friday evening 6:30-9 pm and 8:30-11:30 am on Saturday morning) for those who have taken Discovery. Get to know our church and our purpose and passion for the Gospel. Have fun getting to know others while you learn what it means to be a member of NPC.
Why is membership important to us? By becoming a member, a person is
first and foremost acknowledging his or her sinfulness before a Holy God
and trusting Jesus Christ for eternal salvation, which is the most
important decision a person will make. Members also make a commitment to
the local church, both to serve in ministry and to be ministered to by
the pastors,
elders and other caring servants
within the community. We encourage our members and friends to join a
small group community and become
personally involved in ministry to strengthen their relationship with
Jesus Christ.
