Here at Three Lakes Evangelical Free Church, we desire to be a community that grows to be like Jesus, and we believe that one of the valuable tools in helping us do that is church membership.

There are many reasons that we believe church membership is valuable, but here are just a few.

Belonging - Becoming a member of Three Lakes Evangelical Free Church is a way of declaring before God and others that you belong to this community of believers. In church membership, you have the opportunity to join arms with fellow believers and commit ourselves to them and to being part of something bigger than yourself.

Accountability - In church membership, we invite church leaders to keep watch over us (Hebrews 13:17) and we ask fellow believers to exhort us, encourage us, correct us, and hold us accountable to live the life Jesus has called us to live.

Care - The Bible charges pastors and elders to “Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care (1 Peter 5:2).” Our pastors and elders take that charge seriously, and knowing who considers themselves part of our flock helps them to do that more effectively.

These are just a few of the many reasons we believe that church membership is an important step in growing to be like Christ. Our membership classes provide an opportunity to explore more of those reasons and to learn more about what being a member at Three Lakes Evangelical Free Church entails. If you have questions about membership, one of our pastors would be happy to talk with you further.
