Membership as Ministry

The Book of Order is the constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A).   Here are the expectations we strive to meet in our ministry as church members:

"A faithful member accepts Christ's call to be involved responsibly in the ministry of his Church.  Such involvement includes:

a. proclaiming the good news,

b. taking part in the common life and worship of a particular church,

c. praying and studying Scripture and the faith of the Christian Church,

d. supporting the work of the church through the giving of money, time, and talents,

e. participating in the governing responsiblities of the church,

f. demonstrating a new quality of life within and through the church,

g. responding to God's activity in the world through service to others,

h. living responsibly in the personal, family, vocational, political, cultural, and social relationships of life,

i. working in the world for peace, justice, freedom, and human fulfillment."
