1) Personal
sense of belonging. By choosing to
become a member of ICPC, you are making a conscious choice to identify with and
become part of this Church Family.
2) Personal
voice. Someone once said that
attending a church without become a member is like being a spiritual “foster
child”. Foster children can participate in a family, but they are never a full
participant in the family with all the joys, responsibilities and legal rights.
Church members are given a clear voice and undivided attention from the Pastor
and the Church Leadership. Members participate in all congregational functions.
3) Personal
significance. Becoming a member of our
church qualifies you to have opportunity to serve in significant ministry roles
within our Church Family.

experience if you stay on the fringe of our church family.

development: By committing yourself
to becoming a member, you will have a greater focus to use and develop your
gifts, abilities and serving skills and leadership within our Church family.
6) Personal
rewards: Jesus Christ promises to
reward us for our service for others. Your loving services within our Church
family will have eternal significance in your life and the lives of others. You
will also experience the joy and reward of being part of what God is doing with
and through our entire church family.
7) Personal
accountability: By becoming a member of
this church, you are committing yourself to a personal path of spiritual
growth, Christian maturity and godly service. Through the relationships you
