Called to Belong
Church membership is often thought of as a log of names or a directory. At Soma Church, we believe it is so much more than that! Church membership is the means by which our pastors faithfully shepherd the church and serves as a gift to the congregation for the protection of their souls.
Hebrews 13:17 says this… “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.” It is imperative that pastors know who they are responsible for and for members to have shepherds who lead them and protect their souls. Church membership is for the protection of the sheep and the shepherds!
Biblical Evidence/Reason for Membership
