Membership Information
Membership
at SonCoast means learning to impact the
community in which we live and to serve God with a faithful
heart. Membership at SonCoast isn't about joining a
church; it's about intentional steps toward spiritual
growth and living biblically. For many, the membership
process is a practical step individuals take to turn
their desires for spiritual growth and transformation
into reality.
The members of SonCoast
Community Church are men and women committed to living
life in and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Pursuing
membership is an individual choice. Whether or not you
are interested in becoming a member, we encourage you
to participate in the life of our church and continue
to learn how to live in Christ.
Membership
Process
Attend “Discovering Your
S.H.A.P.E. for Ministry” Class
At this class, you will
gain an understanding of the core values and vision
of SonCoast Community Church and discover your S.H.A.P.E.
for ministry. As you get into S.H.A.P.E. (Spiritual
Gifts; Heart; Abilities; Personality; Experience), you
develop a personal profile for ministry and learn how
to utilize your God-given gifts/abilities to serve God
and others in the church family.
Complete the Membership
Application
When you are ready to join
the SonCoast family, complete
the membership application and call the
office to set up an appointment for you to meet with
one of the pastoral staff for an interview (30 minutes).
Meet with a member
of the pastoral staff or elder board to share your testimony
of faith in Christ
A member of the pastoral
staff or elder board will set up a convenient meeting
time for you (couples may interview together if preferred).
This will be your opportunity to share your testimony
of faith in Christ and ask any questions you may have
regarding SonCoast. The information you share during
this meeting will be communicated with the ministry
staff and elder board and will be kept confidential.
If you have not yet been baptized and are ready to take
this step of obedience to Christ, you will be given
the opportunity to get started in the baptism process.
Recommendation
for Membership
Upon completion of your
membership interview, the person conducting the interview
will make a recommendation concerning membership to
the Elder Board of SonCoast. Membership recommendations
are reviewed at the next regularly scheduled meeting
of the elder board.
Based on the recommendation
of the pastoral staff and/or elder, the elder board
will give final approval of your membership. You will
receive a letter from the church indicating the board’s
approval of your membership application.
