Why Membership Matters

Does it really matter if I’m a member or not? Why do I have to take a class to become a member? Do I have to sign anything? People often ask these questions about our membership process, wondering why there seem to be so many “hoops” to jump through.

It’s true. We take membership seriously and with a lot of gravity. Committing yourself to a body of believers is weighty. But it’s also wonderful. When Members join, they commit to a spiritual family that provides encouragement and support. They are called to a biblical degree of responsibility, service and sacrifice to their brothers and sisters. Our elders and leaders also pledge to assist our Members with care, counsel, prayer and teaching.​

At Hillside Bible, we are continually offering church membership classes.  Come and check out what we are about.

You can become a member at Hillside Bible Church by following four basic steps:
  1. You must be Born Again and have made a profession of personal faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
  2. As a Born Again believer, you should have been baptized by immersion.
  3. You must attend a Membership Class and be in agreement with Hillside Bible's Statement of Faith and agree to abide by it's "Constitution and Bylaws".
  4. Give clear evidence of a life that is consistent with the above.  This can be affirmed thru the submission of a Church Membership Application.  This can be done online here.
