Membership Statement of West Glendale
I have received Jesus Christ as forgiver of my sin and leader of my life and demonstrated that publicly by baptism. I also agree with the Baptist Faith and Message and the structure, strategy, and statements of WGBC. I now feel led by the Holy Spirit to become a part of WGBC, in doing so, I commit myself to God and to the other members to do the following:
1. I will attend worship unless ill or out of town. Hebrews 10:25
2. I will join and participate in a Bible study. Acts 2:42
3. I will grow spiritually through worship, prayer, Bible study, and fellowship. Acts 2:42-47, I Peter 2:2-3
4. I will serve the Lord faithfully in the church doing all things in love. 1 Corinthians 12:31b-13:13, Romans 12:9-21
5. I will support the church financially. Matthew 6:19-21
6. I will protect the unity of the church. 1 Corinthians 1:10-17, Ephesians 4:29-32, 2 Corinthians 12:20
