The New Testament consistently presents the image of believers intentionally being involved in their congregation. This is more than attending services. Church membership is a deliberate choice to help others grow in Christ and to receive help from the rest of the church in our own growth. Together, we grow up into Christ and fulfill one of the purposes of the church.
