What is Membership?
Church membership is a commitment to be part of a local body of followers of Jesus to love and serve one another. At West Hills Community Church we worship together, grow together in community and serve together in mission. As a member you commit to loving and serving the local church, exercising your spiritual gifts, contributing financially to the work of the ministry, giving encouragement and accountability in love and receiving the same with humility.
Membership Process
1. Profess faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior
2. Be baptized as a sign of the new life you have in Christ (If not already baptized)
3. Attend our New Members class
Getting a handle on a church that is new to you can be exciting, overwhelming, filled with questions, even somewhat of a culture shock. In fact, it could be all of the above.
