Membership does have its privileges. In a New Testament church, membership provides for, among other things, encouragement and accountability. In the New Testament, there are over 100 passages dealing with the “one another’s” Implied in the “one another’s” is the sense of relationship. We at South Main consider relationship, and therefore, membership, very important.
Membership enables accountability through church discipline and facilitates spiritual growth as we live out the gospel and the one anothers.
