“Why Membership?”

The New Testament clearly indicates that groups of people who were followers of the Lord Jesus Christ identified themselves with, and committed themselves to a particular local body. In order to implement the principles of accountability and commitment to the local body of Christ, as defined in the New Testament and practiced in the early church, Hope Church Toronto West recognizes the need for formal membership. Membership at Hope Church Toronto West is for all who are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and have visibly demonstrated that commitment through believer’s baptism.
