Because Christ has given us the mandate of the Great Commission, we dedicate ourselves to evangelism and discipleship. We dedicate ourselves to the Lord. We dedicate ourselves and this church to the Lord. God's calling on Fortress Church is very clear. God has given us a vision for ministry.
Membership is vitally important.
I don't speak a whole lot about church membership. Every Sunday, I speak about making commitments to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. First and foremost, our relationship with Christ Jesus is our priority. But it doesn't mean that church membership is NOT important. We live in the age of non-commitment.
