Welcome to the Family Membership Responsibilities and Leadership Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis

Welcome to the Family! We are so thankful to God that He is speaking to you about the possibility of becoming a member of Anyname Fellowship Church. Our desire is that as you think through the various ideas, activities, and beliefs of our church, God will give you insight regarding your place here. Whatever you may decide, our heartfelt prayer is that God will lead you to find the right church for your own growth and development, and that He will use you to build up His people, the church, to His glory! And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fulness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. ~ Ephesians 4.11-16 (NASB)
