Membership in a local church is vital to the spiritual health of each believer. The local church provides a place for corporate worship, fellowship, accountability, and opportunities to serve alongside fellow Christians. Below is some information on biblical membership and how to complete the membership process here at Parker Bible.
Membership Process
1. Apply for Membership
Please carefully read our Doctrinal & Distinctives Statement, Constitution, and Bylaws. To preserve the unity of Christ's church it is important that you understand and agree with those truths that are critical to the gospel. Each adult desiring membership must fill out their own form; please be clear and detailed so we can understand your life and experiences. Once you complete your application, you will receive a link to register for a membership class.
2. Attend the Membership Class
The Membership Class typically meets once each quarter. The class meets for three (3) consecutive Sundays, typically during the Equipping Hour. You must attend all classes to proceed with the membership process.

After completing your application and attending the 3-week membership class, you will be able to interview with one of the elders. This will be an opportunity for you to share your testimony of faith with them, explain why you desire to be a member of Parker Bible, and discuss what areas of ministry you might be able to serve in.
4. Introduction & Reception
Once your membership is approved, you will receive a letter of confirmation and an invitation to participate in a membership introduction and reception. A few times each year, at the end of the evening worship service, the pastor will introduce each new member to the congregation. After the service concludes, the new members and their families will join the congregation for an informal reception.
