Should I become a member?

Have you been wondering whether or not you should seek membership in Wings of Life Worship Center?

Here is some information intended to answer some of your questions and help you seek God’s will in this matter.

What does membership mean?

Membership is an outward sign of commitment to Wings of Life, to its vision and leadership, and to service within this faith community.

Who is eligible to become a member?

In order to become a member, you must

• Have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord.
• Be in agreement with our church’s Statement of Faith (see ministries brochure).
• Have read and accepted the information about our church structure.
• Be willing to accept the pastor’s authority as your spiritual leader.
• Agree to pray for the leaders and members of the church
• Be willing to serve the church as the Lord leads.
• Be willing to support the church financially with your tithes and offerings as God provides for your needs.

What privileges do I have as a member that I would not have otherwise?

Members only are invited to attend the annual meeting (when financial matters are discussed) and other meetings that may be called in times of special need.  Also, positions of church leadership may only be filled by members; therefore, membership open up new levels of opportunity.

Am I just as important to the functioning of the church if I am not a member?

Absolutely! Wings of Life has been blessed with many long-time faithful worshippers who have not sought membership for one reason or another. Every person is a valued part of the Body of Christ and we appreciate you.

Becoming a member, however, is rather like turning a long engagement into a marriage. With that commitment, there’s a certain level of grace and service that God will make available to you.

Can I partake of communion if I’m not a member?

Another name for communion is the Lord’s supper. The Lord himself invited those who are His to His banquet. If you are a born again Christian, in good standing with the Lord, you are welcome to join in communion.

As a winter resident of Arizona, how can I become a member without abandoning my church back home

We agree that your primary church membership and place of service should be where you spend most of your time in residence.  However, if you are in our area for three months or more during the winter season, we invite you to become a winter member.

Winter members have the same level of commitment to Wings of Life when they are in Arizona as they do to their church ‘back home’.  They have two church homes, just as they have two physical homes.  You may wish to consult with your pastor back home to seek his spiritual advice before making this important decision.

Winter membership allows part-time residents to avoid the ‘taking a vacation from spiritual responsibility’ syndrome.  Additional opportunities for service are certainly available during the months when church attendance is higher.
