How do I join the Family of God and become a member of Church on the Way?

The Church on the Way is a family of believers in Jesus Christ. You can become a member of the Way in one of four ways:

1. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and being baptized by immersion.

2. If you have already accepted Jesus, but have not been baptized by immersion, then by following Him in believer's baptism.

3. Transfer of membership by letter from previous church.

4. Statement of having previously accepted Christ and experienced baptism by immersion as a member of another church.

There are numerous benefits to church membership, but here are just a few:

It identifies you as a genuine believer (Ephesians 2:19, Romans 12:5).
It provides a spiritual family to support and encourage you in your walk with Christ (Galatians 6:1-2, Hebrews 10:24-25).
It gives you a place to discover and use your gifts in ministry (1 Corinthians 12:4-27).
It places you under the spiritual protection of Godly leaders (Hebrews 13:17, Acts 20:28-29).
It gives you the accountability you need to grow (Ephesians 5:21).
Worship helps you focus on God. It prepares you spiritually and emotionally for the week ahead.
Fellowship helps you face life’s problems by providing the support and encouragement of other Christians.
Discipleship helps you fortify your faith by learning the truth of God’s Word and applying biblical principles to your lifestyle.
Ministry helps you find and develop your talents and use them in serving others.
Evangelism helps you fulfill your mission of reaching your friends and family for Christ.
