Why become a member?
Each believer is called to make a personal commitment to
Christ. We believe that such a commitment is to be lived out corporately
in the context of a local church. Belonging
to a specific church gives you unique opportunities to identify with Christ, His church, and
the opportunity for you to use
your God-given gifts to help in
mutual service to one another. The church of Atlanta Road Alliance is a
family, adopted by God (Gal. 4:6-7; Eph. 1:5). From Him we receive the privilege to worship Jesus
together, serve in His kingdom, and be His children. We care for each other,
pray for each other, and serve together. Guests are always welcome within our household. And for those
interested in transitioning from guest to family member, the membership process
(see below) is your opportunity to learn more about us, and our
opportunity to get to know you. The leadership of Atlanta Road Alliance
Church strives to love and care for its members well (Eph. 4:11-12; Gal. 6:10). In turn, we rely on our members to accomplish our
collective work as the church (Eph. 2:10). We trust the Holy Spirit to move through the
transformed hearts of our members, mobilizing the collective body of Christ in
humble ways to love the surrounding community, love our family, and glorify
God.
