BECOMING A MEMBER
We believe that Scripture teaches the importance of being a member of a local church. Christians are not meant to walk alone but alongside other believers. Church membership is how we formally recognize and commit to love our brothers and sisters in Christ.
NHCC offers membership classes. If you are interested, please speak with our pastor for more information, or send us questions through the contact form.
Church Covenant
As disciples saved by Jesus' grace and mercy, we joyfully renew our covenant to commit to the following, as taught in Scripture, to the best of our ability:
1. Walk together in love to strengthen our fellowship with Christ and joy in Him.
2. Gather regularly for corporate worship, Bible study, fellowship, and other church gatherings.
3. Honor and observe the two ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
4. Read and study His Word regularly, and strive to learn Scripture more thoroughly.
5. Persevere in our life of faith, and encourage and build up one another as we eagerly wait for Christ's return.
6. Pray faithfully for each other, rejoice with one another, and be there for others when they're burdened and struggling.
7. Be patient, forgiving, and renew and restore one another, even through discipline, if necessary.
8. Give offering faithfully, joyfully, and honorably so that God may use it to carry out the Great Commission.
9. Build up God's Kingdom faithfully by leading holy lives, sharing the gospel with the lost, and contending against sin.
10. In the event we move on from NHCC, become a member of another church as soon as possible in obedience to the teaching of God's Word.
