At Ambassadors Bible Church, we hold a perspective on church membership that we believe aligns closely with biblical principles. We recognize that all born-again Christians are already members of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4), and therefore we see no need for additional formal local church membership requirements.
You are welcome to assemble with us simply as a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, provided there are no biblical reasons that would require exclusion.
For those who wish to express a deeper commitment to our congregation, we offer the Declaration of Affiliation.
By signing the Declaration of Affiliation, you are:
Declaring your unity and fellowship with Ambassadors Bible Church.
It's a way of saying, "I'm committed to and part of this congregation, to our beliefs, and to our mission together."
Committing to uphold our Statement of Faith, recognizing its authority in establishing the doctrines and standards of our church.
We define “uphold” in this context with the following meaning: To affirm the authority of the Statement of Faith, conduct oneself in alignment with its principles, and refrain from promoting beliefs or actions contrary to its teachings.
Committing to actively participate in the life and ministry of this congregation.
That means you're here regularly, you're engaged, you're getting to know people, and you're using your gifts in service to one another.
Expressing your desire to support our mission through word and deed.
You encourage others. You give as you're able. You serve. You live out what you believe. You're not just a consumer of our ministry; you're a participant in it.
These commitments reflect the biblical pattern of believers walking together in love and truth, each doing their part to strengthen the body of Christ.
If you are new to our congregation, we encourage you to:
Faithfully attend our services and get to know our church family.
Meet with our leadership. This is a great opportunity to discuss any questions about our beliefs or practices.
Sign the Declaration of Affiliation to make a formal commitment to our congregation.
We look forward to walking alongside you as we grow together in Christ. Our prayer is that you will find Ambassadors Bible Church to be a place of encouragement, spiritual growth, and faithful service to the Lord.
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 1 Corinthians 1:10
