Membership

Whether you’re a member or considering membership, Hope Membership Services exists to help individuals and families fully connect to the life of our ministry. At Living Hope Community Fellowship, the living Christ makes possible a living hope. It is our mission to provide you with the spiritual armor of God required to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ: “Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18-20

Hebrew 10:24-25
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

 

Step 1: Complete New Members Classes

New members class is offered every 1st, 2nd and 3rd Sunday at 10 am in the membership room.

  • Membership Class I – first Sundays
  • Membership Class II – second Sundays
  • Membership Class III – third Sundays

*  There are times when we will host special membership sessions where more than one class will be offered consecutively.  You will be notified of these marathon classes.

 

Step 2: Right Hand of Fellowship

Many are familiar with the term “the right hand of fellowship,” but few are familiar with its meaning. In Galatians 2:29, we find that James, Cephas (Peter), and John gave “the right hands of fellowship” to Paul and Barnabas. 

By giving the right hand of fellowship,  believers are agreeing to serve God together. James, Cephas and John would focus on reaching the circumcised (the Jewish people), while Paul and Barnabas would focus on reaching the uncircumcised (Gentiles). 

At Living Hope, when we give someone the “Right Hand of Fellowship”, we are  agreeing to serve God with our new member and are welcoming them into our church family as our brother or sister in Christ.  (You will be notified when you will receive The Right Hand Of Fellowship.)

 

Step 3: Find Your Fit In The Body

We were all shaped to serve God. The Bible says: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.  For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“  (Ephesians 2:10).

One of the things we are going to do when we get to heaven is serve God. So we might as well  practice serving here on earth.  What will be your contribution?  How do you plan to use your God-given talents? 

As a member of the body of Living Hope we encourage you to embrace the vision and become an intricate part of bringing God’s vision for this house into fruition.
