The Bible illustrates church membership through a number of pictures.

For example, we are parts of a body, bricks in a building, soldiers in an army and perhaps most powerfully, members of one family.

All these pictures contain the idea of belonging, something much more than just attending. Church is a family, where we are all involved in different ways to help the family work properly.

Anyone who trusts in Jesus is a Christian and part of the worldwide, universal church – the world-wide family of God. However, the New Testament expects that Christians will be part of a local church, living as a family in community with other believers.

Therefore, we believe that anyone who trusts in Jesus and has decided to make Peebles Evangelical Church their home is a member of the family.

We then encourage those who have made Peebles Evangelical Church their spiritual home to make it formal by becoming a member of the church.

Being a member of our church is about more than just attending – it’s about belonging. We’re a family and everyone plays a part.

Membership expresses a commitment to the church family and is also legally how we are constituted.
