Member in Full Connection
Is a member who has completed the required four separate New Member classes or the Fast Track one-day class, and has received the Right Hand of Fellowship before the congregation.
As a member in full connection here at Greater Centennial, your first responsibility is to partner with us to achieve three goals:
-
- Show the LOVE of Christ to all. Seek to become more like Christ. Tell people about Christ.
- Show the POWER of Christ by assisting members of the congregation and community. Our deeds are a demonstration of our faith in a mighty God.
- Show the GLORY of Christ by making the church a place where God is placed at the forefront of all that we do.
