Membership

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.

[Ephesians 2:19]

Membership

We believe that membership in the local church is a Christian’s clearest personal commitment to the Church’s mission and life. As a local assembly of God’s people, we agree together to fulfill our Lord’s commission (Matthew 28:19-20) and commandment (Galatians 5:14) in our community. The Pelican Bay Church By-Laws reflect how we will live out this essential covenant.
