Is Church Membership Biblical or Just a Tradition?

In this QA, Pastor Mike explains what church membership really means from a biblical perspective. He clarifies that the word member comes from the Bible’s picture of the church as a body, a flock, or a building—not from paperwork or classes. While Scripture does not command formal membership classes, Pastor Mike explains why submitting to church leadership and following a church’s process can still be wise and obedient, especially in light of Hebrews 13:17. This teaching helps believers distinguish between biblical essentials and helpful—but manmade—church structures.Text ASK to 90398 to ask Pastor Mike a Bible Question.Text GOLIVE to 90398 to be notified when ASK Pastor Mike is LIVE.Find more ways to learn your Bible at https://focalpointministries.org/Have a Bible Question?
