Church Covenant

Church covenant is a list of our commitments, the way we are committed to live our faith and doctrine with one another within the church members as a family.

Become a Member

To become a Christian is a personal profession of faith. However, it's not a private affair. Believers, as obedient followers of Christ, are to live corporate life. Shaktisali Baptist Church (SBC) believes the only way to display God's glory through gospel practice in our life is to become a member of a local church. Saved, Baptized and Active membership practice if our aim at SBC. Through church membership, we practically commit ourselves to love, encourage, equip, correct and care one another.

We consider the following reasons to become a member at SBC-

A Witness for non-Christian:

The church is not a building or a particular location. Instead, it's a body of committed people. Moreover, it's not just occasional or even regular attendance during Saturday Worship Gatherings. A genuine commitment is displayed in love and care (John 13:35). A group of people now on this earth with a real conversion experience is a picture of the 'Kingdom' which is to come in its fullness. As we gather for worship, the world is to witness the gospel community.

An Opportunity to Grow:

Prayer, preaching, teaching, care as a local body and investing time-treasures are to grow together. The cultivation of discipleship is a biblical mandate. Commitment to a local church is a beautiful opportunity to develop those new in the faith and spiritually weak believers. The New Testament language 'One-another' is so vital in our church life (Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Peter 1:22, 1 John 4:11-12).

Leaders are Accountable:

Local church leaders are appointed to care for souls. They are the ones who are held accountable before God for your soul's safety. Unless a believer commits to a local church, how do the leaders know you are a part of the body? Unless a disciple commits to a local fellowship, elders of the church (and other members too) will not be responsible to pray, teach and care for them. After all, they won't be held accountable for your soul (Acts 20:28, Heb:17). As a part of the local body each church member must pray and give oversight to other fellow members, and to do this, one must join a church.

Humble Submission Required:

Becoming a member of a local church means to commit yourself to submitting to other believers of that particular local body. You also must submit to the discipline of the whole church. We must humbly accept that we may easily wander, and we need gospel transformed people to watch over us (Matthew 18:15-17 and 1 Corinthians 5:1-5 ). SBC affirms that the membership concept is biblical and practiced in the New Testament. The church has the authority to preserve the true gospel, and it means to live-out gospel-driven lives. The church affirms a member's profession of faith and life to bring-in and has the power to put-out for the sake of the gospel.

For God's glory:

The local church is God's plan. The Church is a display of His beauty. Jesus died on the cross for His people (Acts 20:28, Ephesians 5:25). The act of salvation builds a new community of people. This is by the new covenant of his blood; he has purchased to proclaim salvation to the world. Jesus has identified personally with his church (Acts 9:4). His people can join him in this mission by enrolling in a local body.
