New life in Christ
This chapter discusses the requirements for becoming a member of the church and provides an opportunity for participants to develop their own personal story of God’s saving work.
Why Membership?
Chapter two discusses why Christians should become a member of the local church and what they can expect from their local church.
Our local church
This chapter provides an opportunity for potential members to become acquainted with their local church—its history, its vision and mission, its ministries, and the men and women who lead them.
It's bigger than we are
Your local church is part of a global body, the Church of God of Prophecy. Chapter four provides potential members with an overview of the structure and ministries of the Church throughout the world.
What now?
The final chapter provides an opportunity for the instructor and participants to discuss the personal commitments that are made when someone chooses to become a member of the local church.
