Introduction (from handbook))

Membership in a local Christian church is the practical commitment to Christian service and worship that follows one's personal commitment to Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.

When we unite with a local church in this way, we acknowledge publicly our allegiance to Jesus Christ and we identify ourselves with his church. To make this step is a very genuine privilege and challenge to every Christian.

You will be joining in a voluntary covenant with other Christians both for fellowship, worship and service. They will commit themselves to pray for you and encourage you in your Christian life and service. Together, as a local body of Christians we will seek to know and to do God's work so as to honour and glorify the name of Christ.

The following pages are a guide to the content of our Christian faith and the privileges and responsibilities of church membership. You will discover what we believe. You will find out about the denomination known as Congregationalists. You will discover why Congregationalists place such great emphasis on church membership.

The future of this church, under Christ, will rest with you and its other members. We are 'labourers together With God'. Our labour is never in vain in the Lord.

May God be pleased to bless his work at the Narellan Community Congregational Church and then further a field through dedicated people such as you.
