Sunset Beach Christian Church - Membership Form

Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of Sunset Beach Christian Church!  In a transient place like the North Shore, sometimes it’s difficult to know who is here to stay, and who is just ‘passing through’. Filling out this form helps us know that you are here to stay, and that you desire to be treated like part of the family!

We strongly recommend that you attend services regularly for at least 2 months before submitting this form.

After you submit the form below, a pastor will follow up with you.

A member of our church is someone who is:

  •  Committed to Sunset as ‘their church’.

  • Sees themselves not only as an attendee, but as a vital member of this local body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-31).    

  • Mutually accountable to fellow believers within our church, so that we can all encourage one another to embrace Jesus as Savior, Treasure and Lord.

  • Willfully places themselves under the leadership of this church (pastors and elders), for example, if it comes to issues of church discipline and/or interpersonal conflict among members within the church (Matthew 18 & Hebrews 10:17-18). 

  • Committed to supporting the mission of SBCC (through prayer, giving, serving, etc.).

  • Feels a sense of ownership over the future welfare and direction of this ministry.

  • Wants to grow in embracing Jesus as Savior, Treasure and Lord, and help others do the same.

  • Wants to live out the mission of Jesus in everyday life (Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21)

  • In agreement with our core beliefs and values:

    • The Bible is the inspired, inerrant word of God (2 Tim. 3:16).

    • There is one true God, Creator of heaven and earth, who is revealed in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:26, Luke 1:35, 3:21-22,  2 Cor. 13:14,  Matt. 28:18-20).

    • Jesus is the King of Kings (1 Timothy 6:15) and the only way to salvation (John 14:6).  He was born of a virgin as God in the flesh (Isa. 7, Phil. 2), lived a sinless life (Heb. 4:15), died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins (1 Peter 2:24, 2 Cor. 5:21), was bodily resurrected on the third day (1 Corinthians 15, Luke 24), and is seated at the right hand of God the Father (Col. 3:1, Rom. 8:34). 

    • The power and centrality of the gospel in salvation (Romans 1, Galatians 1, 1 Corinthians 15).

    • Sinners are saved by grace, through faith in Jesus, not by good works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

    • God’s plan for us is to make us more like Jesus (Romans 8:29).

    • Christians are called to live in community with one another in the context of a local body (church) (Acts 2:42-47).

    • All followers of Jesus are called to make more followers of Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17-18; Matthew 28).
