In a world where commitment can be a rare commodity, church membership remains vital to the health and mission of Christ’s body. We’re excited to invite you to take this meaningful step with us, as membership provides a deeper connection to our church family and a clearer understanding of your role within God’s plan.

Why Membership MattersMany believers today may wonder why church membership is important. As followers of Christ, we are called to commit not just to Him, but also to a community of believers. Moving from church to church without submitting to the care of elders or committing to a local body can mean missing out on the blessings, opportunities, and accountability that come with deeper involvement.
Membership also means submitting yourself to the care and authority of biblically qualified elders who shepherd the congregation. This structure helps maintain the health, guidance, and spiritual growth of the entire church community.

What Church Membership Is
When we are saved, we become members of the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13). This unity with Christ and fellow believers naturally leads to our involvement in a local expression of that body. Church membership is a way of formalizing that commitment—it's a public declaration that you are dedicated to serving within this local community.
The Responsibilities of MembershipBeing a member of La Habra Christian Church is both a privilege and a responsibility. As members, we are called to:
While much is expected, much is also gained. When every believer is faithful to this commitment, the church can live out her calling as Christ’s representative on earth. Membership matters because it helps us become the people—and the church—that God has called us to be.
