Membership

At Hope Valley Church we take Membership seriously. While it does get your name on a roll and allows you to vote it is much more than that.

  • We grow when we are committed and accountable.

  • As iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another.  

  • Proverbs 27:17 (NIV)

  • We are more fruitful.

  • Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour. Ecclesiastes 4:9 (NIV)

  • We are supported.

  • Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.  A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.  Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NIV)

  • Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good.  Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more.  Hebrews 10:24-25 (GNT)

To become a member you need to have committed your life to Christ, been baptised and publicly make vows of Membership on a Sunday that declare your commitment to Christ, to our Mission, Beliefs, Values, and serve and grow with other members.

Baptism

Baptism is an outward symbol of an inward grace.

Baptism symbolises the new life we have in Jesus.  As water gives life so Jesus gives us new life, the old is washed away and the new has come. We enter the waters of baptism, die to self and rise up to new life in Christ.

As water is used to wash so baptism symbolises the washing away and forgiveness of our sins and we are called out of darkness into God's marvellous light.

Baptism is also the symbol of being united with Jesus and His church.
