In order to implement the principles of accountability and commitment in the local Body of Christ, as defined in the New Testament, Parkrose Christian Church recognizes the need for formal membership. Accept - Accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. This is man's greatest need. The decision to make Jesus one's personal Lord and Savior is the pre-eminent decision of life. This decision should not be made in order to become a member but is necessary for membership.
Baptism is an act of obedience and faith.
Re-baptism is not necessary. As with accepting Christ as Lord, baptism is for inclusion in the Kingdom of God, not to become a member. Those being baptized during the week will be introduced to the PCC family on the following Sunday morning. Those wishing to be baptized on Sunday should contact the pastor during the week prior. Confess - One must publicly confess faith in Christ.
