FCF Membership Application

Here at Flagstaff Christian Fellowship, we desire to honor the Triune God of the Gospel together. We do this, in part, by being as healthy a church as we can be according to His Word. By God’s grace, this results in our joy, other’s good, and God’s glory. We view Covenant-Membership as central to the ongoing discipleship and health of a growing believer. It’s how we know who we are responsible to help follow Christ and who will do the same for us. Thank you for taking the time to consider partnering with us in Covenant-Membership.

Entering into a covenant relationship with the members of a local church is no small matter, but we believe it honors and obeys Scripture and blesses the saints. It’s one of the primary ways the saints know who they belong to and are responsible for. The elders take very seriously Hebrews 13:17 knowing we will stand before Christ to give an account of our shepherding of this congregation. Covenant-Membership is the primary means the elders know whom they are accountable to Christ for. This is especially true in a transient and independent culture such as ours.

We have carefully chosen the questions in this application to get to know you better and thereby serve you more faithfully. As you complete the questions, please take this opportunity to reflect on Christ’s work in your life and to worship the Lord who loves you, redeemed you, and adopted you into His family.

Until Jesus returns,

Pastor Dave,
On behalf of the Elders of FCF
