2024 Annual Membership Renewal

Complete the form below to become an annual member of LifeChurch International, based in Gilbert, AZ.
​There are three levels of membership. The distinction of each are outlined below:

---

1. Attending Members
    Attending Members are present at several services or events per year at any campus of LifeChurch International and consider LifeChurch to be their church home. They look to the LifeChurch pastoral team for spiritual leadership. 
​    Attending Members are assured of pastoral care for normal ministerial services such as weddings, dedications, funerals, and hospital visitation. They have the benefit of a faith community to share experiences and grow in their faith. Other members in the church community will provide prayer, friendship and moral support, encouraging their walk with God.

2. Participating Members
    Participating Members regularly attend LifeChurch and have committed to the Pastoral Team their intention to make this church their home. They are committed to the ministry at LifeChurch International and financially support the operation of the church through their giving. 
    Participating Members are assured of the same level of pastoral care listed under Attending Members. They are also qualified to be involved in volunteer positions of service at LifeChurch. These include but are not limited to areas of hospitality, ushering, lawn care, maintenance, social event support roles, and community service projects.

3. Voting Members
    Voting Members not only have pledged their support to the ministry of LifeChurch International, but they have accepted the teaching of the Apostolic doctrine as outlined in the Local Church Constitution (see below). They have been born again of the water and of the Spirit according to John 3:5 and Acts 2:38. They live morally clean lives of Christian conduct, abstaining from substance abuse, and are committed to the highest standards of integrity. They support the church and ministry through regular attendance and the giving of tithes and offerings.
    Voting members are assured of pastoral care and other benefits listed under the other levels of membership. Additionally, they may also be qualified to serve in teaching positions,  ministry leadership, worship ministry, and other areas that require full commitment to the teaching of LifeChurch. 

Below are the guidelines for membership from our bylaws:
