Membership at Faith Bible Chapel South

Why be a member?
The difference between attenders and members can be summed up in one word: "commitment". An attender is a consumer but a member is a contributor.

The Faith Bible Chapel South Pastor, Dannie Fisher, and leadership ask you to commit to membership for the following reasons:

•The Biblical reason: Christ is committed.

•A cultural reason: It's an antidote for our society.
We live in an age where very few want to be committed to anything ...a job... a marriage... our country. This attitude has even produced a generation of "church shoppers and hoppers". Membership swims against the current of America's "consumer religion". It is an unselfish decision. Commitment always builds character. The difference is the same as living together or being married.

•A practical reason: It defines who can be counted on.
Every team has a roster. Every school has an enrollment. Every business has a payroll. Every army has enlistment. Even our country takes a census and requires voter registration. Membership identifies our family.

•A personal reason: It produces spiritual growth.
The New Testament places a major emphasis on the need for Christians to be accountable to each other for spiritual growth. You cannot be accountable when you're not committed to any specific church family.

All that is expected for an FBCS member to do is what the Bible expects Christians to do.
