Joining the fam is more than becoming a member... it's about getting plugged into a community that you can call family sooooo....
OMGEEEEE welcome to the fam! We are so glad to be able to do life with you!
So what does it mean to be a member?! It means:
1.You trusts us as your Pastors!
2.You look for ways to serve!
3.You support financially!
Read Details Below:
- When you trust us as your Pastors, it means you trust us to cover you in prayer, watch over your soul and feed you knowledge & understanding.
Cover you in prayer
“In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 1:4-6 NIV
Watch over your soul
“Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.”
Hebrews 13:17 NIV
Feed you knowledge and understanding
“Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.”
Jeremiah 3:15 NIV
- Look for ways to serve
As Pastors, part of our responsibility is to help disciple you… in simpler terms, to help you become more like Jesus
Jesus said He didn’t come to be served, but He came to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.””
We encourage everyone apart of them fam to look for ways to serve. Serving helps cultivate humility, build character and also reveals spiritual gifts that God placed on the inside of you! The benefits of serving are plenty but our motivation to compel you to serve is rooted in our desire to see you have the same mindset as Christ.
Matthew 28:18-20 NIV
Philippians 2:5-7 NIV
Matthew 23:11-12 MSG
Mark 10:42-45 NIV
- Support Financially
There’s a Pastor we know that asked a profound question to his congregation. He said, “If I’m your Pastor and you don’t trust me with you’re money, then why would you trust me to Pastor you?”
In other words, if you trust us to Pastor you based on the fruit that you see in our lives, we pray that you also trust us to faithfully steward the finances of this house.
Here at Revive Church, we are very transparent about how we manage the finances of the ministry. We also have a reputation of being ministry of integrity and generosity. We encourage the Revive fam to be generous as well.
Biblically, your tithe (10% of your income) should go to your local church where you serve. Churches are not funded by the government so tithing helps with mission/outreach efforts, ministry expenses, staff salaries and anything to fulfill God’s mission in the earth. Offering is anything above your tithe which contributes to the same categories above.
We encourage all to honor the Lord with their wealth through tithing and to always give cheerfully. You can still be a member if you haven’t began the commitment of tithing/giving but we trust that when you believe in the vision of Revive Church, you’ll have the mentality of “I don’t have to give but I have the privilege to give.” Your tithes and offering helps us to make an impact locally and internationally.
Proverbs 3:9 NIV
Genesis 14:18-20
