At lifehouse, we recognize the need for a formal partnership. We promote partnership for four reasons:
A Biblical Reason: Christ is committed to the church.“...Christ loved the church, and he gave his life for it.” Eph. 5:25
A Cultural Reason: It is an antidote to our society. We live in an age where very few want to be committed to anything: a job...a marriage...our country. This attitude has even produced a generation of “church shoppers and hoppers”. Partnership swims against the current of America’s “consumer religion”. It is an unselfish decision. Commitment always builds character.
A Practical Reason: It defines who can be counted on. Every team must have a roster. Every school must have an enrollment. Every business has a payroll. Every army has an enlistment. Even our country takes a census and requires voter registration. Partnership identifies our family.
A Personal Reason: It produces spiritual growth. The New Testament places a major emphasis on the need for Christians to be accountable to each other for spiritual growth. You cannot be accountable when you’re not committed to any specific church family.
Partnership Expectations
At Lifehouse Community Church, we are never asked as partners to do more than the Bible clearly teaches. We only expect partners to do what the Bible expects every Christian to do. These responsibilities are spelled out in the Partnership Covenant. If you are interested in becoming a Lifehouse partner, simply complete the following form.
YES! I'd like to become a partner with Lifehouse and would like more information on the process.
