We think membership should be reserved for things like Costco and the YMCA and Amazon Prime — not the church. In fact, when people want to get involved, they don’t ask, “How do I become a member?” They’ll instead ask, "How do I become part of this?"

So at The Local Church, we do Partnership. It’s not about furthering institutions. It’s about strengthening relationships. It exists because we need each other.

We firmly believe that everyone who connects with The Local Church in any way is already a part of what God's doing among us. God’s prevenient grace makes that possible, and the invitation is already there. But Partnership necessitates a response. It’s never one-sided. Think of it this way: The Local Church has already said, “You’re a part of this.” This is your chance to respond, “I am a part of this” — in word and action.

That’s what makes Partners distinct. Partners have discerned a call to live into the work and way of being of The Local Church. In response to the love they’ve already received here, they're making an intentional decision to offer their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness to help grow this abundant community and make God’s dream a reality — together.
