We are so glad that you are interested in learning more about uniting with Living Faith in membership. Membership in Living Faith Baptist Fellowship is based on a covenant or a pledge that we make to one another to care for one another and to serve alongside one another in caring for our community. Members have full rights of participation in the decisions of the church and are expected to exercise that participation by presence, voice, and vote. Members are expected to take seriously the church’s covenant of mutual support and encouragement and to do all possible to make that pledge a reality. All members shall be eligible for consideration by the membership for elective positions of leadership in the church.
