Many people wouldn’t even think twice about it—wherever they live, they’re going to join a church. Others can’t imagine why anyone would do such a thing. Why should we? Is it one of the Ten Commandments? Is it unbiblical?

We believe these are excellent questions—and frankly, more and more people are asking them. You might not be surprised to know that we believe church membership is a very good thing. There are good, Biblical reasons behind the practice.

We invite you to read Why Join a Church? by Donald S. Whitney for an explanation of some of these reasons. The article is found in the excellent book, Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church—also by Whitney. But, you don’t have to buy the book. You can find the article on-line by clicking here.

And please let us know what you think and/or if you have any questions for us about membership at Community Bible Church.
