ABOUT MEMBERSHIP
Church membership is a formal relationship between a local church and a Christian characterized by the church’s affirmation and oversight of a Christian’s discipleship and the Christian’s submission to living out his or her discipleship in the care of the church.
Requirements For Church Membership:
A Christian. Only someone who credibly professes faith in Christ can become a member at Travis.
Baptized. Only those who have publicly identified with Christ and his church by baptism can be allowed to publicly identify with His church.
Regular attendee. A church cannot oversee and affirm a person’s profession of faith if they do not regularly attend a small group and a worship service.
Willing to submit to the leadership of the church. If a person isn’t willing to follow the church’s leaders they will inevitably stir up division and strife. We encourage all people to join a church whose leaders they can follow.
Giving. After all, “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Cor. 9:7). Part of being a part of the body of Christ means you are willing to sacrificially give back to God what He has given to you.
