Membership

A Life-Giving Covenant

Membership is a weighty, but life-giving commitment between believers of our local body.

At First Irving, we place a high priority on membership. To be a member of this local body carries a great deal of responsibility, but it also provides tremendous rewards. We want you to experience the provision of covenant community that God has given us. We want you to know what true Christian fellowship is. We want you to experience the joy of walking with a brother or sister through some of the most difficult times of life and seeing God reveal His faithfulness. We want you to exercise your spiritual discernment in helping the pastors and elders navigate the vision for this church that God has given to us. We want you to be formally under their watch care, so that you have a shepherd leading you formally to the Great Shepherd. We want you to be formed with us into the image of Jesus, so that we may faithfully serve Him together. We pray that you would consider joining us in the ministry that God has given to us by following these steps in our membership process:

What Is The Membership Process?

Membership Class

The First Step in the process of membership is to enroll in our Membership Class. This is an opportunity for anyone considering membership to meet some of the staff, learn about the mission & vision of First Irving, and ask any questions you may have. We hold the class once every six weeks, on a Sunday morning at 9 am. The class lasts about 2-hours, and free breakfast is provided. We hope you will join us and learn more about the beauty of membership.

Sign The Covenant

During the class, we will hand out to each person our Membership Covenant. This is a document that outlines not only what we expect of our covenant members, but also what they can expect from us. First Irving is a family, and this covenant helps us all know that we will be loved, cared for, prayed for, encouraged, challenged, and supported by this body of believers.

Though joyful and freeing, we also must feel the weight of our commitment to do these things for the body as well. Not simply to receive, but to serve and give as well. We hope you will pray over this decision, and that the Spirit will lead you to join this body of believers at First Irving.

Read The Covenant

Meet With A Pastor

After attending the Membership Class, and prayerfully signing the Covenant, we will schedule a time for you to meet with one of our amazing pastors. This is a casual meeting to help us get to know you personally. We want to hear the Lord's work in your life, and share with you how the Lord is working in ours. To us, you are more than a number, so let's start our relationship off on the right foot.
