IMPACT: New Member’s Workshop: Begins January 24th

I know that many of you have heard about the IMPACT class here at Brook Hills but we thought we would take a minute to explain again the importance of being connected to the body of believers through membership. “Meaningful local church involvement is not an optional spiritual discipline; it is the essential context within which believers are intended to find Christ and grow in him.” Sometimes we view membership of a local church as a supplement to our spiritual life but it is intended to be the very community of God’s redeemed people who have fully put their trust in Christ alone.

This summer, through David’s teaching, we were given a great picture of what the Covenant Community at Brook Hills looks like. Here are just a few key bullet points and reminders of why it is so important to be committed to the church:

The Foundation of a Church …
+We are a community grounded in the Word of God.
+We are a community sustained by the grace of God.
+We are a community promoting the good of one another.
+We are a community demonstrating the glory of God

The Value of Church Membership…
+Church membership is implied by church gatherings.
+Church membership is implied by church discipline.
+Church membership is implied by church leadership.
+Church membership is implied by church accountability.

The College Ministry staff highly encourages students to commit to membership of a Local Church. If you are interested in joining Brook Hills here is the link to the IMPACT class starting January 24th. Don’t wait to sign up, spaces are limited!
