What Does it Mean to Be a Partner at Verge Church?
Partnership at Verge represents our commitment to collectively live on Jesus’ mission together as we journey through life. Together, as a family of believers, we commit to love one another, build each other up into Christ (Eph 4:15) and lead others to do the same. While all Christians are a part of the Church globally, God’s word gives clear instruction to belong to a specific local church locally.
Becoming a partner at Verge means that you commit to participate in Verge Churches vision and mission. Our partnership classes help us learn about the churches purpose in our life and how the first century Christians chose to be committed to one another as they reached their culture with the gospel message.
Church partnership is something that has been around since the foundation of the church and is not only biblical but helpful. Consider these verses:
• Acts 2:37-47: a count of those who have decided to follow Jesus Christ and mention of the leaders tracking the growth
• Acts 6:1-6: elections and a vote take place in order to address a charge
• Romans 16:1-16: an obvious awareness of who was a local church member
• 1 Timothy 5:3-16: instruction on allocating church resources to widows that were members first
