"For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another."
Romans 12:4-5

Why become a member at New Hope?
Six Reasons Church Membership is Beneficial

Reason #1
In joining a church you make visible your commitment to Christ and His people.
Membership is one way to raise the flag of faith. You state before God and others that you are part of this local body of believers. It’s easy to talk in glowing terms about the invisible church-the body of all believers near and far, living and dead-but it’s in the visible church that God expects you to live out your faith.

Reason #2
Making a commitment makes a powerful statement in a low-commitment culture.
Joining a church in such an environment makes a counter-cultural statement. It says “I am committed to this group of people and they are committed to me." It’s about making a decision and sticking with it-something our culture, with our innumerable amount of choices, often finds difficult.

Reason #3
We can be overly independent.
