Why Membership Matters

Does it really matter if I’m a member or not? Why do I have to take a class to even become a member? People often ask these questions about our membership process, skeptical as to why there seem to be so many “hoops” to jump through.

It’s true. We take membership seriously and with a lot of gravity. Committing yourself to a body of believers is a big deal.  When people join East Tipp, they commit to a spiritual family that provides encouragement and support. They are called to a biblical degree of responsibility, service and sacrifice to their brothers and sisters in Christ. Our elders and leaders also pledge to assist with care, in counsel, prayer and teaching.
