This commitment goes beyond making this your church home. It means that you have prayerfully become a stakeholder in what God is leading this congregation to do. Membership is not merely a statement of identity, it is a statement of ownership signifying both responsibility and accountability to this local church body.

Am I able to transfer my membership from a former church?
Each church family has it’s own unique personality, and most often has a unique process of membership. Therefore, to bring us all together on the same page, those wishing to transfer membership are asked to participate in the same steps listed above. We do welcome a letter of request for membership transfer as a first step.
Can I make this my church home if I am not a member?
Absolutely! Our doors are always open to those seeking a deeper walk with the Lord. While membership at Radiant Life Church is a commitment of responsibility, it should not be perceived as a mark of status. Scripture declares that we are all parts of one Body, each part has a different function, but ALL are equally important!

Making a commitment to the local church means much more than adding your name to a roll book. It means taking the responsibilities that come along with the privileges, being blessed and blessing others, and saying “No” to the world’s standard of commitment and “Yes” to God’s.
