| We’re
glad you’ve chosen to find out more about Island Family!
This class is the basic introduction to our church family.
Since we have members from many different church backgrounds,
this class was designed to clearly explain who and what our
church is.
Discovering Church Membership is divided into four mini-sessions.
“...you are members of God’s very own family...and
you belong in God’s household with every other Christian.” Ephesians
2:19 (Living Bible)
KEY TRUTHS
1. The church is a family.
2. God expects you to be a member of a church family.
3. A Christian without a church family is a contradiction.
:
...that I will commit myself to Christ and to the Body
of Christ.
