Pastor Steve Wilkins gave this sixth installment of the AAPC Class addressing some key things about membership in the local church:

  • Many Christians don't think joining a church is necessary.
  • The Church is the chief instrument in the work of salvation in the world.
  • Though there is specific command to have a formal membership in the church, the teachings of Jesus and the apostles assume such a membership.

This was covered along with the responsibilities and duties of each member.
