Membership

Membership of The Carpenter's Church is open to any person who is born again - who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Saviour.

What is the value of membership?

Well as a member of a true Bible believing Church...

01 You have a place to be taught the Word of God and learn how to apply the Word to your every day life. A life both grounded and growing in the undiluted Word is a life of VICTORY!

02 You have access to counsel and guidance from an undershepherd and those whom he has placed in authority

03 You have a place to serve God with the talents and gifts that He has put within you.

04 You have a place to pay your tithes to as taught in the Scriptures.

05 You have a place to publicly identify with and belong to a people who have given the Word of God first place in their lives. You join a spiritual family.

Believers Classes

Intending members of The Carpenter's Church need to attend a set of seven (7) foundational classes (Believers' Classes) which hold simultaneously for one hour after Sunday service.

Each new Believers Class builds upon the topic from the preceding Class. Believers Class students attend each Class sequentially starting from class one (1). i.e. starting with Lesson One (1), then Lesson Two (2) until the final lesson Seven (7).

These Classes are a necessary and compulsory requirement for new converts as well as aspiring members who are already believers.

Membership Classes

At the end of the Seven Believer's Classes the intending member attends a three-part Membership Class referred to as Class Eight, Nine and Ten. Membership Classes hold simultaneously for one hour after Sunday Service and are based on The Carpenter's Church Membership Handbook.

At the end of Class Ten the intending member has enough information to decide if TCC is the local assembly they want to publicly identify with.

Membership forms are distributed at the end of Class Ten and Family Outreach Group Assignments made after the forms are turned in.

Membership Classes are scheduled to kick off in 2008. Until then Membership forms are distributed at the end of Class Seven.

The Carpenter's Church Membership Handbook.

The guidelines (in the Handbook) form the basis for the three Membership Classes for intending TCC members and for all members of the local assembly.

Everyone who decides to become a member of the Church is encouraged to read the Membership Handbook. Copies of the Membership Handbook are available for members to read in the Church Office library or can be downloaded.
