I WANT TO JOIN THE CHURCH, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN A COMMUNITY GROUP OR SERVE ON A SERVICE TEAM. I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO BE IN A COMMUNITY GROUP OR SERVE. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO BE IN A COMMUNITY GROUP OR SERVE ON A SERVICE TEAM?

• Membership here is not just having your name on a list. Being a member indicates a willingness to partner and potentially lead with us in our mission to empower people to live champion lives for Christ.
