New Members Class

WHY MEMBERSHIP?
Here at OnsetFoursquare we think membership is a good thing. We believe that God would have His people who have committed their lives to Him to also commit to a local group of believers called the local church. We feel so strongly about this call that we encourage people to step up and consider becoming a committed member of Onset Foursquare—and if not our church then some church. If you would like to learn more about Onset Foursquare, we invite you to enroll in Membership Class, and completion of the class is a requirement before becoming a member, but you do not have to join OFC when the class ends– the choice is yours! Dates Our Classes will be available:July 13, August 10 and September 14 of 2019
Membership is: Committing to a Community of Faith in Action
IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY
“There are two things we cannot do alone. One is to be married and the other is to be a Christian.” Paul Tournier The Bible knows nothing of a solo Christian. Throughout Scripture God calls people to come together. The New Testament describes the church in ways that point to the importance of being committed to a community of fellow followers. The church is described as:
- a vine (John 15: 5),
- a flock (1 Peter 5:3),
- a temple (Eph. 2:21,22),
- a body (1 Cor. 12:27)
- a household (Eph. 2:19).
All these metaphors and more describe a people who are connected to Christ and connected to one another.
IMPORTANCE OF COMMITMENT
The obvious commitment challenge in the New Testament is to faith Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. But the New Testament also points to some kind of formal commitment to a group of believers. This is seen through the letters to individual churches in various cities (Rome, Corinth, Ephesus, etc.), and in passages such as Acts 2:41 – “Those who accepted his message (this message of faith in Christ) were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.” and Hebrews 10:25 – “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another…”
IMPORTANCE OF FAITH IN ACTION
With this mandate from God’s Word, OFC feels called to actively live out our faith in Christ by:
- worshiping together (John 4:19-24)
- caring for one another together (Gal. 6:2)
- growing through God’s Word together (2 Tim. 4:2)
- giving together (2 Cor. 9:7)
- serving together (1 Peter 4:10,11)
- binding together in fulfilling our mission to Onset and around the world (Matt. 28:18-20)
Therefore, we point OFC attenders to consider becoming OFC members. We think we can make a difference together for the cause of Jesus Christ.
