Part 2: Why & How We Worship on Sundays

Putting Down Roots Through Church Membership

What if church membership is about more than having your name on a list? In this episode of Between Sundays, the conversation explores how church membership helps believers put down roots in a local church through commitment, accountability, and shared mission. The hosts walk through the membership process at Rainbow Forest, explaining how it serves as an opportunity to understand the gospel, connect with church leadership, and commit to a body of believers who are united in exalting Christ. Membership isn’t simply joining an organization—it’s becoming part of a spiritual family that grows together, serves together, and advances the glory of God together. www.rainbowforest.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.rainbowforest.com/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yIMDuiNoblL0yhbFgDeO4QtJhTiT_2X]

Part 1: Why Should I Become a Church Member?

This episode of Between Sundays kicks off a new series exploring why church membership matters by laying a biblical foundation for its purpose. The conversation addresses common questions—especially the idea that the New Testament doesn’t explicitly require membership—and instead highlights how Scripture points to meaningful commitment, accountability, and belonging within a local church body. Pastors John and Jeff begin unpacking how church membership is less about a formal label and more about living out a clear, biblical expression of faith in community with other believers. www.rainbowforest.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.rainbowforest.com/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yIMDuiNoblL0yhbFgDeO4QtJhTiT_2X]
