Why Church Membership Matters


We take membership seriously because the Bible takes it seriously. Check out the blog article below for a defense of the biblical support for membership in a local, covenant family of believers:


What are the steps to joining the Church gathered at ZBC?

  1. Express interest in becoming a covenant member of ZBC by filing out the form attached here or notify either the Pastor or one of the deacons of a desire to place candidacy for membership;
  2. Attend the "New Membership Seminar" that consists of five, approximately one hour classses, which is held on grounds at ZBC. Childcare is provided upon request by candidate. The five classes cover
  3. Session 1: What we believe (statement of faith);
  4. Session 2: How we do life with one another (church covenant);
  5. Session 3: Why Church membership is important (where membership is found in the Bible);
  6. Session 4: Church History;
  7. Session 5: What it means to be a member at ZBC (expectations of members)
  8. Schedule and compete a New Member Interview with the Pastor; and
  9. Upon completion of the New Membership Seminar and New Member Interview, candidates shall go before a qurom of ZBC members during a convened business meeting and be moved and voted into the membership log.
